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

backgroundGEMIN5 is an RNA-binding protein that regulates multiple molecular functions, including splicing, localisation, translation, and mRNA stability. GEMIN5 mutations present a syndrome centred on cerebellar dysplasia, including motor dysfunction, developmental delay, cerebellar atrophy, and hypotonia. CASES: We report three patients from two families with novel compound heterozygous mutations in the tetratricopeptide repeat-like domain of the GEMIN5 gene who presented with motor dysfunction, developmental delay, and ataxia syndrome. Novel variants were identified: c.2551_c.2552delCT (Leu851Glufs*30) and c.2911 C > G (Gln971Glu) in Family 1, and c.3287 T > C (Leu1096Pro) and c.2882 G > C (Trp961 Ser) in Family 2, which were inherited from their parents. Moreover, infantile spasms syndrome(ISs) was diagnosed in the family.

conclusionWe report the first case of ISs caused by GEMIN5 gene mutations. Our cases expand on GEMIN5 variants and neurological phenotypes, reinforcing the crucial impact of tetratricopeptide repeat-like domain variants in the GEMIN5 gene.
