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

Background: Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome (ARS) is a multisystem disorder primarily caused by Methods: A 5.4-year-old boy with ocular segment dysgenesis and short stature underwent family-based whole-exome sequencing (WES). Standardized growth hormone (GH) stimulation tests and longitudinal growth dynamics analysis based on 44 precise clinical data points collected from birth to age 7.45 years were performed. A systematic literature review of 10 ARS cases with growth failure was conducted to propose a pathogenic model. Results: WES identified a novel Conclusion: This study reports the one of the most extensive longitudinal follow-up of successful PEG-rhGH therapy in ARS to date. We propose that large 4q25 deletions represent a high-risk genotype for GHD. Mandatory growth monitoring and early endocrine screening are recommended for ARS patients with chromosomal deletions in this region to optimize developmental outcomes.
