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

Perlman syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive overgrowth disorder characterized by macrosomia, nephromegaly, renal dysplasia, and characteristic facial features. It has both similarities and differences to other more common overgrowth syndromes. Pathogenic homozygosity is extremely rare in nonconsanguineous relationships. Survival is predicted by differences among various germline mutations in the DIS3L2 gene on chromosome 2q37.1, with prolonged survival documented in heterozygous mutations allowing partial exoribonuclease function. Although homozygous deletions of exon 9 are rare and have been associated with poor survival, we describe a case report of the only known patient with Perlman syndrome to live past 2 years old with this deletion. Diligent management and surveillance may be associated with prolonged survival in Perlman syndrome.
