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

Background: PURA syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, neurodevelopmental delay, facial dysmorphism, epileptic seizures, complex movement disorders, among other features. Although many pathogenic variants have been reported, there is currently no clear genotype-phenotype association identified. Cases: Four patients diagnosed with PURA syndrome, despite carrying different pathogenic variants, presented a similar mixed hyperkinetic movement disorder. The phenomenology presented a complex set of symptoms, including chorea, interspersed with dystonic and uncoordinated movements. All patients presented also hypotonia, nystagmus, feeding difficulties, craniofacial dysmorphisms. Hypersomnolence and breathing problems were common and observed in three patients, while seizures were found in three patients. Conclusions: PURA syndrome may be considered in the differential diagnosis of infants with severe hypotonia, feeding difficulties and severe developmental delay with epileptic seizures, that start to develop a mixed hyperkinetic movement disorder. These complex movements may be an important clue for the diagnosis of this rare disorder.
