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

backgroundContiguous gene deletion in the short arm of chromosome 4 is linked to various neurodevelopmental disorders.

methodsIn this study, we conducted peripheral blood chromosome G-banding karyotyping and whole-exome sequencing (WES) on a proband presenting with anal atresia, global developmental delay, lymphocytosis, and other multisystem anomalies. Additionally, chromosome G-banding karyotyping was also carried out on the proband's parents and brother.

resultsThe 7-month-old proband was found to have a 26.738 Mb 4p15.33-p14 deletion as identified by chromosome G-banding karyotyping and WES.

conclusionWe identified a patient with proximal 4p deletion syndrome by karyotype and WES analysis, which might explain some of his phenotypes. Our research enhances clinicians' knowledge of this rare condition, and offers valuable genetic counseling to the affected family. Further research is necessary to identify the causative gene or critical region associated with proximal 4p deletion syndrome.
