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

objectivesTemporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a complex condition with pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint and related muscles. Scientific evidence indicates both genetic and environmental factors play a crucial role in TMD. In this study, we aimed to discover the genetic changes in individuals from 4 generations of an Iranian family with signs and symptoms of TMD and malocclusion Class III. MATERIALS AND

methodsWhole Exome Sequencing (WES) was performed in 4 patients (IV-8, IV-9, V-4, and V-6) with TMD according to (DC/TMD), along with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Then, PCR sequencing was performed on 23 family members to confirm the WES.

resultsIn the present study, WES results analysis detected 6 heterozygous non-synonymous Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs) in 5 genes, including CRLF3, DNAH17, DOCK1, SEPT9, and VWDE. A heterozygous variant, c.2012T > A (p.F671Y), in Exon 20 of the DOCK1 (NM_001290223.2) gene was identified. Then, this variant was investigated in 19 other members of the same family. PCR-Sequencing results showed that 7/19 had heterozygous TA genotype, all of whom were accompanied by malocclusion and TMD symptoms and 12/19 individuals had homozygous TT genotype, 9 of whom had no temporomandibular joint problems or malocclusion. The remaining 3 showed mild TMD clinical symptoms. The 5 other non-synonymous SNVs of CRLF3, DNAH17, SEPT9, and VWDE were not considered plausible candidates for TMD.

conclusionsThe present study identified a heterozygous nonsynonymous c.2012T > A (p.F671Y) variant of the DOCK1 gene is significantly associated with skeletal class III malocclusion, TMD, and its severity in affected individuals in the Iranian pedigree. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The role of genetic factors in the development of TMD has been described. The present study identified a nonsynonymous variant of the DOCK1 gene as a candidate for TMD and skeletal class III malocclusion in affected individuals in the Iranian pedigree.
