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/

objectivesJoubert syndrome (JS, MIM 213300) is a rare genetic condition characterized by respiratory control disturbances, abnormal eye movements, ataxia, cognitive impairment, and the notable agenesis of the cerebellar vermis. The molar tooth sign visible in magnetic resonance imaging of the brain serves as a diagnostic tool for JS. Variants in the

methodsWe performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) in a 49-year-old woman with JS characterized by severe intellectual disability, ataxic gait, agenesis of the cerebellar vermis leading to the molar tooth sign, dystonic movements, strabismus, and nystagmus. Moreover, the patient also showed a thickened corpus callosum.

resultsMolecular analysis through WES revealed the heterozygous variants c.182dup (p.G62Wfs*18) and c.1452+4del in the

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this is the first patient with JS and a thickened corpus callosum. Moreover, a thickened corpus callosum has never been identified in patients with pathogenic variants of the
