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 on a patient with a deletion of 18q23. At both 2 and 4 years of age, she displayed few of the facial features or other clinical features associated with the 18q- syndrome. Fluorescent in situ hybridisation and microsatellite marker and RFLP analysis were performed to characterise the extent of the deletion, and a terminal deletion of 18q23 was confirmed. The deleted region includes the gene for myelin basic protein, suggesting that hemizygosity of this gene does not invariably lead to mental and developmental delay. The clinical presentation of this patient suggests that either she is not deleted for the genes involved in the 18q- clinical phenotype or this patient represents one end of the spectrum of the clinical variability seen with 18q terminal deletions.
