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

CTNNA3 encodes αT-catenin, which contributes to the integrity of the myocardium. Single nucleotide variants are occasionally associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, and structural variations are apparently enriched in neurodevelopmental disorders. We report a multiplex family in which a ~60 kb microdeletion of CTNNA3 co-segregates with a variable, heart-restricted phenotype including non-dilated left ventricle cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) in one individual and dilated cardiomyopathy in two, with or without apex hypertrabeculation. The intragenic deletion was identified by XONarray and, subsequently, characterized by long-read sequencing after nonconclusive multigene panel testing. This deletion selectively involved exon 9 and was predicted in-frame by removing 153 amino acids and, thus, disrupting the α-catenin/vinculin-like domain, which is critical for proper conformational homodimerization of the encoded αT-catenin. This intragenic deletion co-segregating with NDLVC and dilated cardiomyopathy confirms that CTNNA3 is a candidate gene for hereditary cardiomyopathies.
