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

backgroundNoonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic disorder characterized by developmental delays, typical facial gestalt and cardiovascular defects. LZTR1 variants have been recently described in patients with NS and schwannomatosis, but the association, inheritance pattern and management strategy has not been fully elucidated. Here, we review the contribution of LZTR1 in NS and describe a patient with a novel, likely pathogenic variant in LZTR1. CASE PRESENTATION: A female patient was diagnosed with clinical NS at 8 months of age. She presented in adulthood when a brain and spine MRI identified plexiform neurofibromas; however, she did not meet the clinical criteria for Neurofibromatosis type 1. No pathogenic variants were identified through molecular genetic analysis of NF1, SPRED1 and a multigene NS panel. Whole exome sequencing at age 23 identified a novel de novo likely pathogenic heterozygous variant in the LZTR1 gene denoted as c.743G>A (p.Gly248Glu). Serial MRIs have shown stable imaging findings and the patient is being followed clinically by cardiology, neurology and medical genetics.

conclusionsWe identified a novel mutation in the LZTR1 gene, not previously reported in association with NS. This report provides additional evidence to support for the assessment of schwannomatosis in patients with LZTR1-NS and may have overlap with Neurofibromatosis type 1.
