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

backgroundPPP2R1A-related neurodevelopmental disorder (PPP2R1A-rNDD) is a rare condition marked by developmental delay, intellectual disability, and characteristic brain imaging findings that can be detected on prenatal neuroimaging. CASE PRESENTATION: We report three fetuses, all with a recurrent pathogenic PPP2R1A variant (c.544C〉T, p.Arg182Trp), identified at a single fetal diagnostic service over 12 months. The neuroradiological phenotype included corpus callosum dysgenesis, widening of the interhemispheric fissure and ventriculomegaly consistent with an aqueduct stenosis pattern. Two pregnancies ended in termination; one continued, with diagnosis confirmed postnatally. DISCUSSION: These cases broaden the prenatal neuroradiological spectrum of PPP2R1A-rNDD and, more specifically, a missense variant associated with the p.Arg182Trp change. These cases share reduced CC length (sometimes markedly) and widening of the interhemispheric fissure as common features.
