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

O-GlcNAcylation is an essential protein modification catalyzed by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT). Missense variants in OGT are linked to a novel intellectual disability syndrome known as OGT congenital disorder of glycosylation (OGT-CDG). The mechanisms by which OGT missense variants lead to this heterogeneous syndrome are not understood, and no unified method exists for dissecting pathogenic from non-pathogenic variants. Here, we develop a double-fluorescence strategy in mouse embryonic stem cells to measure disruption of O-GlcNAc homeostasis by quantifying the effects of variants on endogenous OGT expression. OGT-CDG variants generally elicited a lower feedback response than wild-type and Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) OGT variants. This approach was then used to dissect new putative OGT-CDG variants from pathogenic background variants in other disease-associated genes. Our work enables the prediction of pathogenicity for rapidly emerging de novo OGT-CDG variants and points to reduced disruption of O-GlcNAc homeostasis as a common mechanism underpinning OGT-CDG.
