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

Duplications of distal 20q are uncommon and the connection to oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS) is still not clear. In this paper we describe a family-based cytogenetic case of a geographically isolated community in Northern Italy. Clinical data, pedigree information, and cytogenetic report from the proband were collected. Relatives were examined for OAVS-related features. Subtelomeric FISH analysis was performed with probes for 20qter and D22S1726 using peripheral blood lymphocytes to assess the rearrangement in detail. Descriptive statistics with 95% confidence intervals were computed. FISH demonstrated additional terminal material on der (22) consistent with a complex subtelomeric rearrangement and partial trisomy of 20qter. Among the 30 evaluated relatives, 15 (50.0%; exact 95% CI, 31.3-68.7) carried the rearrangement. Of these, 5 (33.3%; exact 95% CI, 11.8-61.6) exhibited features within the oculo-auriculo-vertebral spectrum, including preauricular tags, microtia or aural atresia, hemi-facial microsomia, ocular anomalies, vertebral defects, congenital heart disease, and hearing impairment. FISH does not provide information about the duplication segment or genes involved; therefore,
