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 and Objectives: Biallelic pathogenic variants in the Methods: Total RNA was obtained from the skeletal muscle samples of patients with LGMDR1/2A. Reverse-transcription PCR, DNA electrophoresis, agarose gel extraction, pMD18-T vector cloning, and sequencing were conducted. Results: Transcriptional analysis revealed that three of these 5 variants (c.1193 + 30G > A, c.1194-9A > G, and c.1354 + 5G > A) induced CAPN3 pre-mRNA mis-splicing through recognition of cryptic donor or acceptor splice sites. In addition, the c.2185-14T > G variant in the polypyrimidine tract of intron 20 caused the pseudoexonization of the entire intron 20 while the c.946-29T > C variant in the branch point sequence (BPS) of intron 6 led to the retention of the last 390 bp of intron 6 through disruption of original BPS and recognition of cryptic BPS and acceptor splice site. All of these noncanonical splicing variants triggering pre-mRNA mis-splicing were predicted to introduce premature termination codons. Western blotting showed deficiency of full-length (94-kDa) and 60-kDa autolytic fragments of the calpain 3 protein in skeletal muscle samples from 4 probands. Discussion: Our study broadens the spectrum of aberrant mRNA splicing caused by intronic variants in calpainopathy.
