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

Orofaciodigital syndrome is a distinctive subtype of skeletal ciliopathies. Disease-causing variants in the genes encoding the CPLANE complex result in a wide variety of skeletal dysplasia with disturbed ciliary functions. The phenotypic spectrum includes orofaciodigital syndrome and short rib polydactyly syndrome. FUZ, as a part of the CPLANE complex, is involved in intraflagellar vesicular trafficking within primary cilia. Previously, the variants, c.98_111+9del and c.851G>T in FUZ were identified in two individuals with a skeletal ciliopathy, manifesting digital anomalies (polydactyly, syndactyly), orofacial cleft, short ribs and cardiac defects. Here, we present two novel variants, c.601G>A and c.625_636del in biallelic state, in two additional subjects exhibiting phenotypic overlap with the previously reported cases. Our findings underscore the association between biallelic loss of function variants in FUZ and skeletal ciliopathy akin to orofaciodigital syndrome.
