1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe deficiency of cytochrome c oxidase 20 is a rare autosomal recessive mitochondrial disorder characterized by ataxia, dysarthria, dystonia and sensory neuropathy. CASE PRESENTATION: In this study, we describe a patient from a non-consanguineous family exhibiting developmental delay, ataxia, hypotonia, dysarthria, strabismus, visual impairment and areflexia. An examination of nerve conduction showed a normal result at first but revealed axonal sensory neuropathy later. This situation has not been reported in any literatures. The whole-exome sequencing analysis revealed that the patient harbored compound heterozygous mutations (c.41 A > G and c.259G > T) of the COX20 gene. By literature review, 5 patients carried the same compound heterozygous mutations.

conclusionCOX20 might be considered as a potential gene for the early-onset ataxia and the axonal sensory neuropathy. Our patient exhibited strabismus and visual impairment, which expands the clinical presentation of COX20 related mitochondrial disorders caused by the compound heterozygous variants (c.41 A > G and c.259G > T). However, a clear genotype/phenotype correlation has not yet been established. Additional researches and cases are needed to further confirm the correlation.
