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

Dopa-responsive dystonia (DRD) is a hereditary movement disorder due to a selective nigrostriatal dopamine deficiency. It is characterized by onset in childhood or adolescence with marked diurnal fluctuation with or without Parkinsonian features, and is caused by mutations in GCH1 gene. We report in this study the clinical and genetic features of the first DRD Moroccan patient. Using a gene panel sequencing, we identified a heterozygous nonsense variant p. Glu61Ter in GCH1. A subsequent targeted segregation analysis by Sanger sequencing validated the presence of the mutation in the patient, which was found to have occurred de novo. The objective of this study is to report the first description of DRD in Morocco, and highlights the importance of new generation sequencing technology in the reduction of medical wandering and the management of hereditary diseases.
