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

PMM2-CDG (phosphomannomutase 2-deficiency) is the most prevalent N-glycosylation disorder and results from impairments of PMM2 activity. This disease presents a large variety of pathogenic variants, which cause a wide phenotypical spectrum. This diversity, together with the low number of affected patients, raises the challenge of determining genotype-phenotype correlations in PMM2-CDG. This type of correlation could be highly significant in determining disease progression, prognosis, severity and in developing genome-personalized therapies. Structural analyses offer a valuable approach for assessing the pathogenic mechanisms within the PMM2 protein structure at a molecular level. Such an approach can reveal novel insights into the consequences of missense variants and their relationship with patients'phenotype. In this comprehensive review, we evaluate at a structural level 41 missense mutations in PMM2-CDG, examining their phenotypical characteristics and clinical severity, protein properties and interference at the enzymatic level. This work broadens the understanding of the intricate relationships between genotype and clinical manifestations of PMM2-CDG.
