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

Pathogenic variants in the BRD4 interacting chromatin remodeling complex associated protein (BICRA) are linked to BICRA-related neurodevelopmental disorders. These disorders are characterized by developmental delay, intellectual disability, and dysmorphic facial features, along with behavioral abnormalities, poor growth, vision abnormalities, and feeding difficulties. We present the case of a three-year-old male diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental speech delay, and epilepsy. Whole exome sequencing with copy number variant (CNV) analysis revealed a heterozygous variant of uncertain significance in the BICRA gene (c.1246G>C, p.Ala416Pro). This case report aims to highlight a gene associated with BICRA-related neurodevelopmental disorders that is rarely described in ASD patients. Further research is crucial to explore the role of chromatin remodeling in the etiology and development of ASD.
