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

Germline pathogenic variants found in the phosphatase and tensin homolog gene are associated with a range of rare syndromes that collectively fall under the umbrella of phosphatase and tensin homolog hamartoma tumor syndromes. Due to the wide array of possible clinical presentations and the varying degrees of symptom severity, many individuals with phosphatase and tensin homolog hamartoma tumor syndromes might remain undiagnosed for an extended period. We describe a case of a male child who received the diagnosis at the age of 12. His clinical features included macrocephaly, hypertrophy in the left arm, thyroid nodules, penile freckles, developmental delay, and an autism spectrum disorder. Whole exome sequencing revealed a de novo heterozygous variant in the phosphatase and tensin homolog. The case highlights the diverse and complex nature of phosphatase and tensin homolog hamartoma tumor syndromes, emphasizing the necessity for early diagnosis, multidisciplinary care, and surveillance protocols, offering the potential for improved prognostic outcomes and enhanced quality of life for affected individuals.
