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

Propionic acidaemia is an inborn error of organic acid metabolism caused by deficiency of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). Enzyme deficiency can result from mutations in either of the non-identical alpha- and beta-subunits. We have screened genomic DNA from patients with defects in the beta-subunit from two ethnic groups (Caucasians and Japanese) and detected three types of mutations in the same exon of the coding sequence of the beta-subunit: an insertion/deletion that replaces 14 nucleotides with 12 nucleotides of unrelated sequence and eliminates an Msp I site; a 3-bp deletion of a single isoleucine codon immediately proximal to that Msp I site; and a C-->T transition in the same Msp I site. The insertion/deletion was detected only in Caucasian patients in 11 of 34 mutant alleles; the C-->T transition was found only in Japanese patients in 4 of 12 mutant alleles. Following digestion of genomic DNA by Msp I, both of these mutations were detected on Southern blots by the presence of a 2.7-kbp band; they can be distinguished from one another by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization following PCR amplification. These results underscore the independent origin of the mutations in the two populations and suggest a key role of this exon in the beta-subunit of PCC.
