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: Chromosome 16p13.11 microdeletion is a very rare copy number variant (CNV), associated with a clinical syndrome characterized by global development delay, neuropsychiatric conditions, facial dysmorphisms, microcephaly, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and congenital heart defects. The 16p13.11 locus is a very unstable genomic region, rich in low-copy number repeats, characterized by many homologous DNA sequences. Usually, the most common CNV of this region include microduplications/duplications, while the microdeletions are rare, and their clinical features are heterogeneous and poorly described so far. Case report: In this paper, we report the genetic and the clinical features of a patient diagnosed with chromosome 16p13.11 microdeletion, and a short review of the literature on this topic. Our patient was characterized by several facial dysmorphic features, autistic symptoms and language development delay. The genetic evaluation revealed and interstitial deletion of the long arm of the chromosome 16, approximately of 1.5 Mb. Conclusion: Interestingly, compared to previous cases, this patient was characterized by autistic symptoms, severe language and motor coordination disorder, without cognitive and cerebral malformations, frequently associated with this microdeletion syndrome.
