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

In monogenic diseases, double mosaic variants of the same gene have rarely been identified. Here, we report the case of triple mosaic variants in PURA, a gene responsible for a neurodevelopmental syndrome (OMIM# 616158). Whole-exome sequencing identified three somatic PURA variants in our case with a similar neurodevelopmental syndrome: NM_005859.5: c.222C>A p.(Tyr74*), c.224T>A p.(Leu75Gln), and c.233A>G p.(Lys78Arg). The two missense variants were on the same sequence read, but the nonsense variant was not. To determine the origin of the alleles, we performed long-read sequencing because of the absence of informative SNPs near the somatic variants. Long-read sequencing revealed that these three somatic variants are derived from the same chromosome. The exact mechanism behind their occurrence is unclear, but the nonsense variant could have occurred de novo as a germline event and incomplete post-zygotic rescue for the germline variant could have led to the two missense variants.
