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

Mutations in the guanine nucleotide binding protein alpha subunit (Gs alpha) have been found in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP). We have screened the Gs alpha gene for mutations in a Japanese patient with this disorder and identified a novel 4-base pair deletion in exon 7 in codons 189-190. This deletion causes a frameshift and if synthesis of a truncated form of Gs alpha occurred, it would likely be biologically inactive. The patient was heterozygous for this deletion. The patient's mother and an unaffected brother were tested for the presence of this mutation. His mother had the same mutation, and although her serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels were within the normal range, she had subcutaneous calcifications. Thus, this mutation appears to be necessary but not sufficient to cause the complete pseudohypoparathyroidism phenotype and thus, other unknown factors, either genetic or acquired, may be necessary for the full syndrome to occur.
