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

Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive ciliopathy defined by the "molar tooth" sign caused by cerebellar vermis hypoplasia and abnormal superior cerebellar peduncles. Over 40 genes are known to cause the disorder, including KIAA0586, which encodes the centrosomal protein TALPID3, essential for ciliogenesis and Hedgehog signaling. Although KIAA0586-related Joubert syndrome is primarily neurodevelopmental, cilia also play a key role in left-right axis formation, however, laterality defects have not been reported in this context. We describe a prenatal case with suspected Joubert syndrome and left isomerism carrying a homozygous likely pathogenic KIAA0586 frameshift variant. The fetus showed dextrocardia, azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava, median gallbladder, persistent right umbilical vein, and a suspected molar tooth sign. This case suggests a possible phenotypic expansion of KIAA0586-related ciliopathy and supports a role for TALPID3 in human left-right patterning.
