Prenatal Diagnosis of Poretti-Boltshauser Syndrome: A Case of Live Birth with Confirmed LAMA1 Variants.
Article in Cerebellum (London, England), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionPoretti-Boltshauser syndrome (PBS; OMIM #615960) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the LAMA1 gene. It is characterized by cerebellar dysplasia with cyst formation, vermian hypoplasia, and progressive visual impairment. CASE PRESENTATION: Inferior vermian hypoplasia and right renal agenesis detected at 20 weeks' gestation on ultrasonography. Amniocentesis revealed a normal karyotype and chromosomal microarray. Trio whole-exome sequencing identified compound heterozygous LAMA1 variants. Parental segregation confirmed biallelic inheritance, establishing the diagnosis of PBS. A male infant was born at 38 weeks and 4 days. Postnatal evaluation showed bilateral cerebellar cortical irregularities with millimetric cysts on brain MRI, severe macular atrophy with punch-hole foveal lesions, global developmental delay, generalized hypotonia, and profound visual impairment.
conclusionThis case expands the prenatal phenotype of PBS and highlights the diagnostic value of integrating advanced fetal imaging with trio whole-exome sequencing in fetuses presenting with posterior fossa abnormalities.
