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

backgroundNeuron navigator 3 (NAV3) is characterized as one of the neuron navigator family (NAV1, NAV2, NAV3) proteins predominantly expressed in the nervous system. The NAV3-encoded protein comprises a conserved AAA and coiled-coil domains characteristic of ATPases, which are associated with different cellular activities.

methodsWe describe a Saudi proband presenting a complex recessive neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD). Whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by Sanger sequencing, 3D protein modeling and RT-qPCR was performed.

resultsWES revealed a bi-allelic frameshift variant (c.2604_2605delAG; p.Val870SerfsTer12) in exon 12 of the NAV3 gene. Furthermore, RT-qPCR revealed a significant decrease in the NAV3 mRNA expression in the patient sample, and 3D protein modeling revealed disruption of the overall secondary structure.

conclusionFor the time, we associate a bi-allelic variant in the NAV3 gene causing NDD in humans.
