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

Background: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a genetically heterogeneous pediatric motor speech disorder. The advent of whole exome sequencing (WES) and whole genome sequencing techniques has led to increased identification of pathogenic variants in CAS genes. In an as yet uncharacterized Italian cohort, we aimed both to identify new pathogenic gene variants associated with CAS, and to confirm the disease-related role of genes already reported by others. We also set out to refine the clinical and neurodevelopmental characterization of affected children, with the aim of identifying specific, gene-related phenotypes. Methods: In a single-center study aiming to explore the genetic etiology of CAS in a cohort of 69 Italian children, WES was performed in the families of the 34 children found to have no copy number variants. Each of these families had only one child affected by CAS. Results: High-confidence (HC) gene variants were identified in 7/34 probands, in two of whom they affected Conclusion: Our findings confirm a relatively high diagnostic yield in Italian patients.
