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 a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and mosaicism for a de novo jumping translocation of distal chromosome 15q, resulting in partial trisomy for 15q24-qter. A maternal uniparental heterodisomy for chromosome 15 was present in all cells, defining the molecular basis for the PWS in this patient. The translocated distal 15q fragment was of paternal origin and was present as a jumping translocation, involving three different translocation partners, chromosomes 14q, 4q, and 16p. The recipient chromosomes appeared cytogenetically intact and interstitial telomere DNA sequences were present at the breakpoint junctions. This strongly suggests that the initial event leading to the translocation of distal 15q was a non-reciprocal translocation, with fusion between the 15q24 break-point and the telomeres of the recipient chromosomes. These observations are best explained by a partial zygotic trisomy rescue and comprise a previously undescribed mechanism leading to partial trisomy.
