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 report here the second case of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 1A (CMT1A) with a cytogenetically visible de novo direct duplication of 17p11.1-->17p12. A male child who was initially referred for developmental delay and dysmorphism was subsequently shown to have significantly reduced motor nerve conduction velocities characteristic of CMT1A. This patient was not informative for the DNA markers mapping to the CMT1A region; however, with DNA markers pA10-41 and EW503 that map proximally and distally with respect to the disease locus, a dosage difference was observed between the two alleles. Comparison with parental genotypes indicated a de novo maternal duplication. Pulsed field gel analysis using probe VAW409R3a indicated that a 500-kb SacII junction fragment usually associated with CMT1A was absent in this patient. These findings confirm that the disease phenotype is probably caused by a gene dosage effect.
