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

Cousin syndrome (MIM#260660) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by short stature, pelvi-scapular dysplasia and craniofacial dysmorphism, due to biallelic pathogenic variants in the TBX15 gene. So far, only six molecularly confirmed cases have been reported in the literature. Herein, we report three novel individuals from two unrelated families carrying homozygous novel variants in the TBX15 gene causing Cousin syndrome with detailed phenotypic description. We review the literature and discuss differential diagnoses. This report confirms that Cousin syndrome is a clinically recognizable condition, with typical dysmorphic features, short stature, hypoplastic scapula and iliac wings, a high prevalence of hip dislocation and humero-radial synostosis, transmission deafness and strabismus. More case descriptions are needed to precise the prevalence of intellectual disability in this condition, a feature that seems strikingly variable among reports.
