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

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome type IV is usually caused by mutations in COL3A1, the gene coding for type III collagen. In a woman with a milder form of this disease, analysis of type III collagen synthesised by her cultured skin fibroblasts showed an apparently shorter form of the protein. Amplification of overlapping cDNAs, encoding the triple helical region of the molecule, showed a deletion near the 5' end of the gene. Sequencing showed that exon 7 was missing from the cDNA sequence. Analysis of genomic DNA showed that this was the result of a T+6 to C+6 mutation in the donor splice site of intron 7. The proband's parents and 35 normal controls were homozygous for T+6 at this position, indicating that the C+6 mutation was causative.
