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

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous disorder characterized by bone fragility and reduced bone mass generally caused by defects in type I collagen structure or defects in proteins interacting with collagen processing. We identified a homozygous missense mutation in SEC16B in a child with vertebral fractures, leg bowing, short stature, muscular hypotonia, and bone densitometric and histomorphometric features in keeping with OI with distinct ultrastructural features. In line with the putative function of SEC16B as a regulator of trafficking between the ER and the Golgi complex, we showed that patient fibroblasts accumulated type I procollagen in the ER and exhibited a general trafficking defect at the level of the ER. Consequently, patient fibroblasts exhibited ER stress, enhanced autophagosome formation, and higher levels of apoptosis. Transfection of wild-type SEC16B into patient cells rescued the collagen trafficking. Mechanistically, we show that the defect is a consequence of reduced SEC16B expression, rather than due to alterations in protein function. These data suggest SEC16B as a recessive candidate gene for OI.
