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

The activin receptor-like kinase 1 gene (ALK-1) is the second locus for the autosomal dominant vascular disease hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). In this paper we present the genomic structure of the ALK-1 gene, a type I serine-threonine kinase receptor expressed predominantly in endothelial cells. The coding region is contained within nine exons, spanning < 15 kb of genomic DNA. All introns follow the GT-AG rule, except for intron 6, which has a TAG/gcaag 5' splice junction. The positions of introns in the intracellular domain are almost identical to those of the mouse serine-threonine kinase receptor TSK-7L. By sequencing ALK-1 from genomic DNA, mutations were found in six of six families with HHT either shown to link to chromosome 12q13 or in which linkage of HHT to chromosome 9q33 had been excluded. Mutations were also found in three of six patients from families in which available linkage data were insufficient to allow certainty with regard to the locus involved. The high rate of detection of mutations by genomic sequencing of ALK-1 suggests that this will be a useful diagnostic test for HHT2, particularly where preliminary linkage to chromosome 12q13 can be established. In two cases in which premature termination codons were found in genomic DNA, the mutant mRNA was either not present or present at barely detectable levels. These data suggest that mutations in ALK-1 are functionally null alleles.
