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

backgroundX-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) is a rare disorder, often manifesting as primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH), and caused by variants of NR0B1, most of which are frame-shifting variants, and few splice-site variants. METHODS AND

resultsHere, a novel splice-site variant of NR0B1 (NM_000475.4), c.1169-2A>T (patient 1), and a stop-loss variant of NR0B1 c.1411T>C (patient 2) are described in this study. We perform minigene assays for the splice-site variant (c.1169-2A>T) and determine that the variant causes exon 2 skipping. Moreover, the defect of NR0B1 protein may bring about the severe phenotype of the patient. Through 8 years of follow-up, we compare the CT images from 8 years ago with the latest image, and observe the CT image change of adrenal in patient 2 (from the increased thickness of adrenal to adrenal atrophy).

conclusionX-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita is produced by variants of NR0B1. We report a case that presents a novel splice-site variant, which has been verified that it could lead to the exon 2 skipping in the RNA splicing progress. Moreover, we report the adrenal CT image change of patient 2, which has never been referred to before, and expand the spectrum of X-linked AHC characteristics.
