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 WARS2 pathogenic variants responsible for partial defect in aminoacylation, have recently been reported in subjects presenting with late-onset phenotypes combining dopa-responsive early-onset dystonia parkinsonism with altered DaTSCAN and progressive myoclonus ataxia. Here, we present the case of a 39-year-old male with childhood-onset progressive dopa-responsive dystonia parkinsonism, prominent psychiatric features and ataxia whose genome sequencing identified a p.(Arg36Ter) nonsense variant and a hypomorphic p.(Trp13Gly) missense variant, allowing the diagnosis of WARS2-related disease. The p.(Trp13Gly) missense variant has previously been reported in individuals with less severe phenotypes than those carrying biallelic WARS2 loss-of-function variants. Among these individuals, two subjects had similar genetic backgrounds and almost identical clinical history to our patient. Our report brings additional proof that the p.(Trp13Gly) variant acts as a hypomorphic allele, offering insight on a genotype-phenotype correlation in WARS2-related disorders.
