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

The gene MED13 participates in transcription. The MED13L gene is a paralog of MED13 that is involved in developmental gene expression. Mutations in the gene have been shown to result in a heterogenous phenotype affecting several physiological systems. Hearing loss has been reported very rarely, and vestibular weakness has never been reported in the condition. In this report, we present a mutation of MED13L in c.1162A > T (p.Arg388Ter), where we detail and describe a cochleovestibular phenotype with objective vestibulometry for the first time. The child showed bilateral sloping sensorineural hearing loss, a bilateral vestibular weakness, and an inner ear vestibular structural abnormality on imaging. Early intervention with hearing aids and vestibular rehabilitation led to a favorable outcome in terms of speech, communication, and balance. We emphasize the importance of comprehensive audiovestibular assessment in children diagnosed with MED13L mutations for effective management of these children.
