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

We describe a nonsense mutation in the regulatory domain of erythroid ankyrin associated with autosomal dominant hereditary spherocytosis with a selective deficiency of the ankyrin isoform 2.1 (55% of normal), a deficiency of spectrin (58% of normal) proportional to the decrease in ankyrin 2.1, and a normal content of the other main ankyrin isoform, protein 2.2. PCR amplification of cDNA encoding the regulatory domain of ankyrin revealed a marked decreased in the ratio of ankyrin 2.1 mRNA to the ankyrin 2.2 mRNA. Sequencing of ankyrin gene in the region where the 2.1 and 2.2 mRNA differ detected a nonsense mutation 1669Glu-->Ter (GAA-->TAA) in one ankyrin allele. Only normal ankyrin 2.1 mRNA was detected in the reticulocyte RNA. Since the alternative splicing within the regulatory domain of ankyrin retains codon 1669 in ankyrin 2.1 mRNA and removes it from ankyrin 2.2 mRNA, we propose that the 1669Glu-->Ter mutation decreases the stability of the abnormal ankyrin 2.1 mRNA allele leading to a decreased synthesis of ankyrin 2.1 and a secondary deficiency of spectrin.
