Novel LSS variants in alopecia and intellectual disability syndrome: New case report and clinical spectrum of LSS-related rare disease traits.
Review in Clinical genetics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Pathogenic biallelic variants in LSS are associated with three Mendelian rare disease traits including congenital cataract type 44, autosomal recessive hypotrichosis type 14, and alopecia-intellectual disability syndrome type 4 (APMR4). We performed trio research exome sequencing on a family with a four-year-old male with global developmental delay, epilepsy and striking alopecia, and identified novel compound heterozygous LSS splice site (c.14+2T>C) and missense (c.1357 G>A; p.V453L) variant alleles. Rare features associated with APMR4 such as cryptorchidism, micropenis, mild cortical brain atrophy and thin corpus callosum were detected. Previously unreported APMR4 findings including cerebellar involvement in the form of unsteady ataxic gait, small vermis with prominent folia, were noted. A review of all reported variants to date in 29 families with LSS-related phenotypes showed an emerging genotype-phenotype correlation. Our report potentially expands LSS-related phenotypic spectrum and highlights the importance of performing brain imaging in LSS-related conditions.
