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

Genetic defects in primary cilia-related genes are associated with a heterogeneous group of disorders known as ciliopathies. TBC1D32-related ciliopathy presents with a broad phenotypic spectrum, ranging from isolated retinal diseases to severe multisystemic involvement, including fetal demise. We report two unrelated patients with retinal disease and hypopituitarism, with one also exhibiting facial dysmorphism, developmental delay, and unilateral oculomotor nerve palsy. Whole genome sequencing identified biallelic TBC1D32 variants in both patients, including two splice-site variants. RNA analysis revealed exon skipping, leading to frameshift and premature protein truncation. A review of previously reported cases highlighted facial dysmorphism, retinal disease, and hypopituitarism as major clinical features of TBC1D32-related ciliopathy. Additionally, we propose oculomotor nerve palsy as an extended clinical feature of this disorder. This study expands the clinical and molecular spectrum of TBC1D32-related ciliopathy.
