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

backgroundTo study BRCA1/2 gene variants in La Rioja in the northcentral area of Spain.

methodsWe performed a molecular analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in 642 individuals from 427 different families from June 2008 to December 2019.

resultsWe identified 71 families with pathogenic variants in these genes, 32 families with BRCA1 variants and 39 families with BRCA2 variants. The pathogenic variants c.959delG in BRCA1 and c.1363_1369delTCAGAGA, c.1397dupA, c.4234_4236delACTinsC and c.8387delC in BRCA2 have not been previously described. The c.81-2 A > T variant in BRCA1, detected in two unrelated families, has not been reported previously in the Spanish population. Two large genomic deletions were found in the BRCA1 gene in exons (Ex) 23-24 and Ex1A-1B-2, and one deletion was found in the BRCA2 gene in Ex2. The pathogenic variant c.5123 C > A in BRCA1 was detected in 8 unrelated families and was the most frequent pathogenic variant in our population. The c.6024dupG mutation in BRCA2 was detected in 6 unrelated families; the c.2808_2011delACAA mutation in BRCA2 was found in 5 different families; the c.211 A > G mutation in BRCA1 was found in three different families; and the c.68_69delAG, c81-2 A > T, c.4038_4039delAA, and c.5266dupC variants in BRCA1 and the c.2457delA, c.2701delC, c.5116_5119delAATA, c.6275delTT, c.7558 C > T and c.7617 + 1G > A variants in BRCA2 were found in two different families.

conclusionsThe spectrum of pathogenic variants in the BRCA1/2 genes in La Rioja is similar to that in other Spanish regions, with some unique characteristics. The pathogenic c.6024dupG variant in the BRCA2 gene was detected in a large number of families and could have a founding effect in the Ebro riverside areas in the regions of La Rioja and Navarra.
