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

Background: Calcium ions are involved in several human cellular processes; nevertheless, the relationship between calcium channelopathies (CCs) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) or intellectual disability (ID) has been previously investigated. We delineate the spectrum of clinical phenotypes and the symptoms associated with a syndrome caused by an inherited gain-of-function mutation in Case presentation: We report the case of a 9-year-old female patient, diagnosed with ASD, severe ID, hyperactivity, and aggressive impulsive behaviors. The father, who was a 65-year-old at the time of his death, had ID and developed major depressive disorder with catatonic features and nihilistic delusion, followed by rapidly progressive dementia. He died after experiencing prolonged seizures followed by post-cardiac arrest. The patient's sister was a 30-year-old woman, known to have a severe ID with aggressive behaviors and sleep disorders. The sister has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and psychosis. Through whole exome sequencing, a heterozygous previously identified and functionally characterized missense likely pathogenic variant was identified in the Conclusion: This case report will help to determine the key clinical features of this syndrome, which exhibits variable clinical presentations.
