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

Genetic studies and phenotypic expansion of hearing loss (HL) for people living in Africa are greatly needed. We evaluated the clinical phenotypes of three affected siblings presenting non-syndromic (NS) HL and five unaffected members of a consanguineous Ghanaian family. Analysis of exome sequence data was performed for all affected and one unaffected family members. In-depth genetic and cellular characterization studies were performed to investigate biological significance of the implicated variant using bioinformatic tools and cell-based experimentation. Audiological examinations showed severe-to-profound, bilateral, symmetrical, and post-lingual onset. The whole-exome sequencing (WES) identified a homozygous frameshift variant: MARVEL domain containing 2 (
