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

Introduction: Gillespie syndrome is characterized by bilateral aniridia, cerebellar hypoplasia leading to ataxia, congenital hypotonia, and variable degrees of intellectual disability. The condition is attributed to pathogenic variants in Case Presentation: Herein, we report the case of a male neonate with generalized hypotonia, and bilateral aniridia, identified during routine newborn eye screening. His abdominal ultrasound revealed a left dysplastic pleiocystic kidney, and his brain magnetic resonance imaging showed mega cisterna magna. In the second month of life, he presented with intestinal malrotation requiring surgical repair. Whole exome sequencing revealed a homozygous deletion of exons 3 and 4 in the Conclusion: Urinary and gastrointestinal issues such as a pleiocystic kidney and malrotation have not previously been associated with Gillespie syndrome. While these findings may be coincidental, they could represent new phenotypic features of the condition.
