Understanding the Role of Genetic Testing in Diagnosing a Complex Pediatric Case.
Article in Clinical case reports, 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
We report the case of a 13-month-old female with multiple congenital anomalies including microcephaly, generalized hypotonia, sensorineural hearing loss, visual impairment, alopecia, and hypoplastic kidneys with chronic kidney disease, and dysmorphic craniofacial features. Extensive metabolic and immunodeficiency workups were unremarkable. Genetic evaluation was conducted in a stepwise approach, and with exome sequencing (ES), we identified two compound heterozygous variants of uncertain significance in the ZPR1 gene. These variants resembled previously reported pathogenic ZPR1 variants associated with a syndrome characterized by growth restriction, craniofacial abnormalities, alopecia, and hypoplastic kidneys. With variant interpretations and clinical comparisons to our patient, we strongly suspect a likely pathogenic role for the ZPR1 variants in this patient's multisystem phenotype, highlighting the importance of exome sequencing in diagnosing medically complex pediatric patients.
