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

rationaleTuberous sclerosis complex is a multisystem genetic disorder caused by variant of TSC1 or TSC2, which were defined as an independent diagnostic criterion for TSC. PATIENT CONCERNS: We present a novel hereditary variant in a family. The family showed a phenomenon of familial aggregation in the Tuberous sclerosis complex. DIAGNOSES: The proband had the c.3974del (exon 33) (p.Gly1325Alafs*58) loss of heterozygosity frameshift in the TSC2 gene (chr16), which was 1 base deletion on the coding sequence of TSC2, leading to a frameshift mutation. Moreover, the novel variant occurred in the grandchildren (generation 3) also can be detected in the grandparental (generation 1) and parental (generation 2).

interventionsThe proband had taken antiepileptic drugs (oxcarbazepine [30 mg/(kg·day)], depakine [28 mg/(kg·day)], levetiracetam [38 mg/(kg·day)], and lamotrigine [2 mg/(kg·day)]) and performed a right parietal resection of the epileptic lesion. OUTCOMES: The treatment received by the proband was ineffective. LESSONS: The novel gene mutation sites to be found provide more research entry points for genetic diagnosis, providing new clinical data for tuberous sclerosis complex research.
