Spectrum of Multiple Congenital Anomalies-Hypotonia-Seizures Syndrome 3 (MCAHS3) Due to Phosphatidylinositol Glycan Biosynthesis Class T (PIGT) Gene Mutations: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 3 (MCAHS3) results from mutations in the phosphatidylinositol glycan biosynthesis class T (PIGT) gene leading to defects in glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase complex (GPI-TA) synthesis. Glycosylphosphatidylinositol serves as an anchor to more than 150 mammalian proteins for attachment on cell surfaces, enabling specific functional properties. Mutations in the PIGT gene result in disruption of this extremely important post-translational protein modification, yielding dysfunctional proteins leading to MCAHS3. An exhaustive literature search was conducted across various electronic databases to reveal only 41 reported cases of MCAHS3 worldwide, emphasizing the rarity of this condition. Multiple congenital anomalies-hypotonia-seizures syndrome 3 has been reported as secondary to 18 different known PIGT variants to date, manifesting as a varying spectrum of craniofacial dysmorphism, developmental delay with epilepsy, cardiac and renal malformations, and unique features in biochemical testing and neuroimaging. This review aims to highlight the constellation of clinical symptoms, diagnostic modalities, and management challenges associated with MCAHS3 cases. It would help determine optimal diagnostic and treatment strategies for newly identified cases and facilitate new research on this rare condition.
