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

Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare recessive multisystem disorder characterized by retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, postaxial polydactyly, cognitive deficits, and genitourinary defects. BBS is clinically variable and genetically heterogeneous, with 26 genes identified to contribute to the disorder when mutated, the majority encoding proteins playing role in primary cilium biogenesis, intraflagellar transport, and ciliary trafficking. Here, we report on an 18-year-old boy with features including severe photophobia and central vision loss since childhood, hexadactyly of the right foot and a supernumerary nipple, which were suggestive of BBS. Genetic analyses using targeted resequencing and exome sequencing failed to provide a conclusive genetic diagnosis. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) allowed us to identify compound heterozygosity for a missense variant and a large intragenic deletion encompassing exon 12 in
