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

backgroundAs knowledge of the human genome has advanced, so too has the recognition that interpretation of the pathogenic nature of sequence variants can be challenging. The von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene exhibits a significant degree of sequence variability, and the first VWF variant associated with type 1 von Willebrand disease (VWD), c.4751 A>G, p.Y1584C, was described in 2003. However, since that time, the pathogenic nature of this variant has remained unclear, being assigned properties ranging from a risk factor to a pathogenic variant.

objectivesTo provide additional evaluation on the interpretation of pathogenicity for this common VWF variant.

methodsFifty-eight subjects with only the p.Y1584C variant were recruited from 2 cohort studies (the Zimmerman Program and the Canadian type 1 VWD study). Clinical and laboratory phenotypes were assessed.

resultsThe prevalence of the p.Y1584C variant in our cohorts was 23- to 27-fold higher than that in large normal population databases. Significantly more p.Y1584C subjects had an abnormal bleeding score when compared to Y1584 individuals. In comparison with a group of 35 subjects without the p.Y1584C variant, subjects with the variant had lower mean VWF:antigen and VWF:ristocetin cofactor values and significantly higher VWF propeptide/VWF:antigen ratios suggestive of enhanced clearance.

conclusionCollectively, the results of this analysis suggest that p.Y1584C is likely pathogenic, however, due to influences such as incomplete penetrance, variable expressivity, and other genetic modifiers like ABO blood group, the straightforward assignment of pathogenicity to this variant is inevitably challenging.
