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

backgroundThis study aimed to analyze the mutation site in a family diagnosed with venous dysplasia to identify possible pathogenic genes.

methodsA 15-year-old female presented with lower extremity venous tortuosity aggravated by ulceration. Only the young sister exhibited similar symptoms within the immediate family of the proband. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was used to evaluate the mutation sites and chromosome copy number variations (CNV) within the family. The possible pathogenic genes located in the region with CNVs were identified, and the expression of the possible pathogenic genes was verified via quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) and western blotting (WB) analysis. In-vitro models were used to verify the role of possible pathogenic genes linked with the development of venous dysplasia.

resultsThe high-resolution karyotype analysis of the chromosomes found no abnormalities. The results of the WGS indicated that the proband and her sister shared the CNV events, including a microdeletion on chromosomes X: 13580000-1358555000 and microduplications of chromosome X: 136055000-136290000, chromosome X: 136475000-13671000. The results of the Q-PCR and WB showed that FHL1 was highly expressed in the proband and her sister, indicating that mutations of the FHL1 may have an important role in the development of vein malformations. The results of the in vitro experiments showed that FHL1 overexpression could inhibit venous development.

conclusionThe CNV in the Xq26 region (136054501-136288300) was found to be linked with the development of venous malformations in this family. However, further studies are required to evaluate the genetic mechanisms involved in the development of venous malformations.
