Complex balanced intrachromosomal rearrangement involving PITX2 identified as a cause of Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome.
Article in American journal of medical genetics. Part A, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Axenfeld-Rieger Syndrome (ARS) type 1 is a rare autosomal dominant condition characterized by anterior chamber anomalies, umbilical defects, dental hypoplasia, and craniofacial anomalies, with Meckel's diverticulum in some individuals. Here, we describe a clinically ascertained female of childbearing age with ARS for whom clinical targeted sequencing and deletion/duplication analysis followed by clinical exome and genome sequencing resulted in no pathogenic variants or variants of unknown significance in PITX2 or FOXC1. Advanced bioinformatic analysis of the genome data identified a complex, balanced rearrangement disrupting PITX2. This case is the first reported intrachromosomal rearrangement leading to ARS, illustrating that for patients with compelling clinical phenotypes but negative genomic testing, additional bioinformatic analysis are essential to identify subtle genomic abnormalities in target genes.
