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

Distal arthrogryposis constitutes a highly heterogeneous group of disorders with a critical need for clear classification. Phenotypes have traditionally been characterized using the classification system proposed by Bamshad or Hall for distal arthrogryposis. Recessive MYH3 inheritance has been described in contractures, pterygia and spondylocarpotarsal fusion syndrome, and, more recently, in distal arthrogryposis without skeletal fusion. We hereby report a nuclear family affected by distal arthrogryposis with biallelic MYH3-related disorder, identifying two novel variants, which in the heterozygous state yield a subclinical phenotype. Beyond refining the molecular diagnosis and guiding genetic counseling, our study emphasizes that the classification of MYH3-related disorders and their inheritance modes is still evolving, underscoring the need to integrate knowledge gained from careful analyses.
