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

Type II collagenopathies represent a broad spectrum of skeletal dysplasias caused by pathogenic variants in the COL2A1 gene, ranging from perinatally lethal achondrogenesis type II to milder phenotypes such as spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita and Stickler syndrome. Although specific mutations may suggest certain phenotypic trends, the genotype-phenotype relationship is not fully clarified. We describe a patient with marked skeletal asymmetry due to somatic mosaicism for a pathogenic COL2A1 variant (c.G1537A; p.G513S) previously associated with lethal phenotypes. The mutation, identified in mosaic form with an alternative allele ratio of 36:17, likely accounts for the asymmetric and nonlethal presentation. We also included a review of previously reported mosaic cases in the literature, highlighting the underrecognized role of mosaicism in modulating disease severity and laterality in COL2A1-related skeletal dysplasias.
