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

Two children are presented who have a distinct syndrome of multiple buccolingual frenula, a stiff and short fifth finger with small nails, a hypothalamic hamartoma, mild to moderate neurological impairment, and mild endocrinological symptoms. No variant assessed to be pathogenic or likely pathogenic was detected in the GLI3 gene in either child. This syndrome appears to be distinct from the inherited Pallister-Hall syndrome associated with GLI3 variants, which is characterized by hypothalamic hamartoma, mesoaxial polydactyly, and other anomalies. In the individuals described here, manifestations outside of the central nervous system were milder and the mesoaxial polydactyly, which is common in individuals with Pallister-Hall syndrome, was absent. Instead, these children had multiple buccolingual frenula together with the unusual appearance of the fifth digit. It remains unclear whether these two individuals represent a separate nosologic entity or if they represent a milder manifestation of one of the more severe syndromes associated with a hypothalamic hamartoma.
