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

backgroundNeurodevelopmental disorders have a multifactorial etiology, since biological, genetic, psychosocial and environmental risk factors are involved. Recent studies have been linking neurodevelopmental disorders and intellectual disability with a variety of genes, some of which encoding neuronal cell-adhesion molecules. Among these, KIRREL3 is known to play a role in CNS development, and his variants have recently been related to intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, childhood apraxia of speech, cerebellar hypoplasia and mild dysmorphic features. CASE PRESENTATION: In this study, we describe a young Caucasian boy with mild intellectual disability, cerebellar anomalies (cerebellar hypoplasia and mega cisterna magna) and minor dysmorphic features associated to a novel KIRREL3 variant.

conclusionsAim of the present case report is to expand the clinical spectrum of KIRREL3-related diseases towards a milder phenotype than what is already described in the literature. We speculate that the interaction between KIRREL3 and CASK might play a major role in promoting cognitive and cerebellar development, contributing to a variety of clinical manifestations.
