Molecular analysis of the arylsulphatase A gene in late infantile metachromatic leucodystrophy patients and healthy subjects from Italy.
Article in Journal of medical genetics, 1996. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
A molecular analysis of the arylsulphatase A gene was performed on 26 unrelated, Italian, late infantile metachromatic leucodystrophy patients. The frequency of the common disease causing mutations 609A and 2381T was 28.8% and 1.9% respectively. Pseudodeficiency allele frequency in patients was found to be 13.5% and a frequency of 10.1% was found in 89 unaffected normal controls. The frequency of the 609A mutation in Italian late infantile patients is lower than in late infantile patients from northern Europe, suggesting a higher frequency of different sporadic mutations in the Italian population. A cooperative in cis effect in phenotype determination involving arylsulphatase A mutations and the eventual background of the pseudodeficiency allele is proposed.
