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

Synpolydactyly (SPD) is a dominantly inherited congenital limb malformation consisting of 3/4 syndactyly in the hands and 4/5 syndactyly in the feet, with digit duplication in the syndactylous web. The condition recently has been found to result from different-sized expansions of an amino-terminal polyalanine tract in HOXD13. We report a novel type of mutation in HOXD13, associated in some cases with features of classic SPD and in all cases with a novel foot phenotype. In two unrelated families, each with a different intragenic deletion in HOXD13, all mutation carriers have a rudimentary extra digit between the first and second metatarsals and often between the fourth and fifth metatarsals as well. This phenotype has not been reported in any mice with genetic modifications of the HoxD gene cluster. The two different deletions affect the first exon and the homeobox, respectively, in each case producing frameshifts followed by a long stretch of novel sequence and a premature stop codon. Although the affected genes may encode proteins that exert a dominant negative or novel effect, they are most likely to act as null alleles. Either possibility has interesting implications for the role of HOXD13 in human autopod development.
