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

Three siblings of consanguineous Pakistani parents have primordial dwarfism with microcephaly, failure to thrive, delayed developmental milestones, thin and lean physique, dysplastic limb joints, ectodermal anomalies, and craniofacial anomalies including dolichocephaly, micrognathia, and irregular dentition. Variable findings are muscular dystrophy and osteogenesis imperfecta. We hypothesized a novel syndrome and launched a disease gene search. At the gene locus identified by single-nucleotide polymorphism-based linkage mapping, genome sequencing detected a very rare intergenic variant g.132766396A>G (chromosome 12) in a regulatory element in
