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

Ribosomal protein L3-like gene mutations have been implicated in early-onset severe dilated cardiomyopathy (OMIM #115200). This report describes an infant with dilated cardiomyopathy resulting from RPL3L gene mutations. A 2-month-old girl was admitted in June 2022 with poor appetite, breathlessness, and lethargy. Her brother had succumbed to fulminant cardiomyopathy and heart failure at the same age. Cardiac ultrasound revealed an enlarged left ventricle, moderate mitral valve regurgitation, and an ejection fraction of 31%. Chest X-ray revealed cardiac enlargement and pulmonary changes. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed dilated cardiomyopathy with an enlarged left ventricle and reduced myocardial wall motion. Whole-exome sequencing identified two RPL3L mutations: c.501G>A (p.Q167=) inherited from the father and c.322G>A (p.E108K) from the mother. Drug therapy improved the patient's cardiac function, and she demonstrated normal cardiac function after 6 months. In this case, dilated cardiomyopathy was associated with two familial RPL3L gene mutations, consistent with a presumed autosomal recessive inheritance pattern previously described in
