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

Proteus syndrome (PS) is an exceptionally rare disorder characterized by asymmetric and disproportionate overgrowth of connective tissues. We report the case of an 8-year-old female presenting with irregular cranial protrusion, bilateral supraorbital ridge enlargement, overgrowth of the right hand and left foot, and a pelvic MRI revealing an ovarian tumor. Initially, the patient was suspected of having Maffucci syndrome (MS) upon admission. Genetic analysis of a lesion sample from the fifth toe of the left foot identified a heterozygous point mutation, 49G > A (p.Glu17Lys), in the AKT1 gene. The patient met the clinical-molecular diagnostic criteria established by Leslie G. Biesecker, scoring 15 points, thereby confirming the diagnosis of AKT1-related PS. This case report contributes to the enhanced understanding of PS diagnosis associated with AKT1 mutations.
