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

backgroundSotos syndrome is a rare and complex genetic disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the NSD1 gene. This syndrome is characterized by rapid early childhood growth, distinct facial features, a learning disability, and multiple other developmental and behavioral challenges. METHODS AND

resultsIn this work, we describe four Moroccan patients with variable clinical presentations of Sotos syndrome, in whom we identified four novel NSD1 monoallelic pathogenic variants by conducting targeted Next Generation Sequencing. Genetic testing allowed us to provide a precise medical diagnosis to our patients and tailor interventions to each patient's needs.

conclusionsBeing the first work describing a series of Moroccan patients with this syndrome, this case series contributes to the growing body of literature on Sotos syndrome and provides valuable insights into the clinical and molecular characteristics of this rare disorder.
