The Bjornstad syndrome (sensorineural hearing loss and pili torti) disease gene maps to chromosome 2q34-36.

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
We report that the Bjornstad syndrome gene maps to chromosome 2q34-36. The clinical association of sensorineural hearing loss with pili torti (broken, twisted hairs) was described >30 years ago by Bjornstad; subsequently, several small families have been studied. We evaluated a large kindred with Bjornstad syndrome in which eight members inherited pili torti and prelingual sensorineural hearing loss as autosomal recessive traits. A genomewide search using polymorphic loci demonstrated linkage between the disease gene segregating in this kindred and D2S434 (maximum two-point LOD score = 4.98 at theta = 0). Haplotype analysis of recombination events located the disease gene in a 3-cM region between loci D2S1371 and D2S163. We speculate that intermediate filament and intermediate filament-associated proteins are good candidate genes for causing Bjornstad syndrome.
