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

introductionKabuki syndrome (KS) is a rare disorder characterized by typical facial features, skeletal anomalies, fetal fingertip pad persistence, postnatal growth retardation, and intellectual disabilities. Heterozygous variants of the KMT2D and KDM6A genes are major genetic causes of KS. This study aimed to report the clinical and genetic characteristics of KS.

methodsThis study included 28 Korean patients (14 boys and 14 girls) with KS through molecular genetic testing, including direct Sanger sequencing, whole-exome sequencing, or whole-genome sequencing.

resultsThe median age at clinical diagnosis was 18.5 months (IQR 7-58 months), and the median follow-up duration was 80.5 months (IQR 48-112 months). Molecular genetic testing identified different pathogenic variants of the KMT2D (n = 23) and KDM6A (n = 3) genes, including 15 novel variants. Patients showed typical facial features (100%), such as long palpebral fissure and eversion of the lower eyelid; intellectual disability/developmental delay (96%); short stature (79%); and congenital cardiac anomalies (75%). Although 71% experienced failure to thrive in infancy, 54% of patients showed a tendency toward overweight/obesity in early childhood. Patients with KDM6A variants demonstrated severe genotype-phenotype correlation.

conclusionThis study enhances the understanding of the clinical and genetic characteristics of KS.
