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

Autosomal recessive nonsyndromic hearing loss (ARNSHL) is a genetically heterogeneous neurosensory disorder, usually characterized by congenital or prelingual hearing loss. We report a Han Chinese male, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss, whose clinical phenotype was also consistent with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). After exome sequencing, a gap junction protein beta 2 gene (GJB2) c.235delC variant in the homozygous state was detected in the patient. Both parents were heterozygous for this variant, as documented by Sanger sequencing. The known pathogenic GJB2 c.235delC variant was not detected in 200 healthy controls. It is predicted to be a disease-causing alteration by generating a truncated protein p.(L79Cfs*3), disturbing the appropriate folding and/or oligomerization of connexins and leading to defective gap junction channels. This study shows that the association of homozygosity of the GJB2 c.235delC variant with ARNSHL and ANSD in a patient.
