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

backgroundCopy number variations (CNVs) occurring on chromosome 16p11.2 are associated with various neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), schizophrenia, and intellectual disability. Among the genes situated within the critical CNV region, DOC2A is noteworthy. We generated frameshift mutations in doc2a (double C2-like domain-containing protein a) and its paralog doc2b (double C2-like domain-containing protein b) in zebrafish via CRISPR-Cas9 respectively and obtained double-mutant doc2a

resultsdoc2a

conclusionsThis study suggests that DOC2A in the critical region of 16p11.2 may contribute to the pathogenesis of autism by interacting with other genes, such as DOC2B, and that the downregulation of NPAS4 may play an important role in autism.
