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: Genomic or exome sequencing is beneficial for identifying more than one pathogenic variation causing blended atypical and/or severe phenotypes. Herein, we are the first to report a 5-year-old boy with the blended phenotypes of infantile hypotonia, severe neurodevelopmental disorder, patent ductus arteriosus, cryptorchidism, obesity, distinctive facial features, and elevated isovaleryl carnitine. Methods: Trio-based whole-exome sequencing was performed on genomic DNA from peripheral blood samples from the boy and his parents. Functional analysis of the Results: Whole-exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous missense variant in the Conclusion: The boy was diagnosed with the dual genetic disorders of Prader-Willi syndrome and isovaleric acidemia. This case provides a useful reference for genetic counseling for complex and diverse clinical phenotypes. The presence of two or more likely pathogenic or pathogenic variations in an individual with neurodevelopmental phenotypes is not an "exceptional" phenomenon.
