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

GRIA-related disorders arise from disease-causing variants in GRIA1, GRIA2, GRIA3, or GRIA4 that encode α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA)-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs). Rare monoallelic GRIA1-4 variants affecting AMPAR function can potentially lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. The impact on AMPAR function may manifest as either gain-of-function (GOF) or loss-of-function (LOF). We recruited nine unrelated patients with either known disease-causing GOF variants in GRIA3 at position p.Gly803 or variants at the paralogous position in GRIA2 (p.Gly792). Specifically, five patients carried a de novo GRIA3 variant (p.Gly803Glu or p.Gly803Val), one carried a maternally inherited GRIA3 variant (p.Gly803Ala) and three carried de novo GRIA2 variants (p.Gly792Arg, p.Gly792Val, or p.Gly792Glu) which we demonstrate are also GOF. Recurrent symptoms included developmental delay affecting both motor skills and language abilities; cognitive impairment; behavioral and psychiatric comorbidities; hypertonia, cerebral palsy, non-epileptic myoclonus, and treatment-resistant epilepsy. We also provide insights into social skills, levels of autonomy, living arrangements, and educational attainment. We compared the clinical features associated with the two paralogous GOF GRIA2 and GRIA3 variants. Our study elucidates the developmental aspects, cognitive abilities, seizure profiles, and behavioral challenges associated with these variants and contributes to advancing our understanding and treatment of patients affected by this rare condition.
