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

Mutations in the reelin (RELN) extracellular matrix protein gene are known to cause cortical and cerebellar malformations due to disruption of normal neuroblast migration and localization during fetal neurodevelopment. More recently, mutations in genes encoding transmembrane receptors involved in the recognition of reelin, including very low-density lipoprotein receptor (VLDLR), have been linked to various dysequilibrium and ataxia syndromes. Radiologic findings in cases of VLDLR mutations include cerebellar hypoplasia with marked vermis hypoplasia and cortical simplification without lissencephaly. However, the gross and histologic findings in VLDLR-related cerebellar hypoplasia in humans have yet to be described in the literature. Neuropathologic analysis of a confirmed human case could serve to illuminate unique findings and further elucidate the underlying pathophysiologic mechanism of VLDLR gene mutations. We report the autopsy neuropathological findings in a genetically confirmed third-trimester gestation fetal example.
