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

FUZ, a component of the CPLANE (ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector) complex, regulates primary ciliogenesis. Five patients of various types of skeletal dysplasia with biallelic FUZ variants have been reported to date, yet the gene-disease relationship has not been established. Here, we report a patient with ciliopathy with a novel homozygous missense variant in FUZ. This patient shares phenotypes with all the previously reported patients and presents with novel phenotypes: aorto-pulmonary window (AP window) and Hirschsprung disease. These phenotypes can be explained by the inhibition of neural crest cell migration due to abnormal Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling caused by primary cilia dysfunction. In silico three-dimensional structural analysis predicted that the variant alters interactions between FUZ and CPLANE2 (RSG1), potentially disrupting ciliogenesis. This report provides additional evidence for FUZ as a causative gene for ciliopathy, offering novel insights into the phenotype spectrum and molecular mechanisms of FUZ-related ciliopathy.
