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

Here we report a case of a Japanese girl with Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome carrying a novel heterozygous frameshift variant of KMT2A (NM_001197104.2:c.10123del, p.Thr3375ProfsTer7). Her clinical features included severe pre- and postnatal growth failure, global developmental delay, hypertrichosis and complete agenesis of the corpus callosum. The identified variant truncates the protein, abolishes the C-terminal SET domain required for histone methyltransferase activity, and is predicted to trigger nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, resulting in KMT2A haploinsufficiency-the primary pathogenic mechanism of Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome. This report documents a previously unreported loss-of-function variant in KMT2A with detailed molecular interpretation and phenotypic characterization, contributing to refinement of the mutational spectrum associated with Wiedemann-Steiner syndrome.
