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

Biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene CC2D2A cause a spectrum of ciliopathies, including Joubert and Meckel syndrome, which frequently involve the kidney; however, no cases of isolated renal disease (i.e., nephronophthisis) have yet been reported. In an adult with a clinical presentation consistent with nephronophthisis, next-generation sequencing identified a rare homozygous nonsense variant in CC2D2A (c.100 C > T; p.(Arg34*)). Tissue-specific expression data and promoter activity analysis demonstrates that this variant primarily affects a transcript isoform predominant in the kidneys but does not affect the transcript isoforms predominant in other tissues typically involved in CC2D2A-related ciliopathies (e.g., cerebellum, liver). Expression analysis of patient-specific cDNA in MDCK cells demonstrates partial translation re-initiation downstream of p.(Arg34*) as a possible escape mechanism from nonsense mediated decay. These data provide mechanistic insights in support of this novel genotype-phenotype association.
