Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia: analysis of craniofacial manifestations.
Article in JBMR plus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Jansen metaphyseal chondrodysplasia (JMC) is an ultra-rare disorder caused by constitutive activation of parathyroid hormone type 1 receptor (PTH1R). We sought to characterize the craniofacial phenotype of patients with the disease. Six patients with genetically confirmed JMC underwent comprehensive craniofacial phenotyping revealing a distinct facial appearance that prompted a cephalometric analysis demonstrating a pattern of mandibular retrognathia. Oral examination was notable for flat and shallow palate, delayed eruption pattern, and impacted maxillary teeth. Subclinical and/or mild hearing loss was noted in 4 of 5 patients studied. The most common etiology was conductive, likely due to overcrowding of epitympanum which impedes the normal vibration of ossicles to sound. Paranasal sinus obliteration was noted in 5 of 6 patients. Computed tomography (CT) scan evaluation of craniofacial bones revealed bilaterally symmetric expansile lesions with predominant involvement of neural crest cell (NCC)-derived bones. Bilateral narrowing of facial nerve canals, particularly at the labyrinthine segment, was seen in 5 of 6 patients when compared to age-matched controls; 1 patient presented with progressive facial nerve palsy. Sagittal suture craniosynostosis was present in 5 of 6 patients-one of whom had a history of cranial reconstruction for pansynostosis in infancy. All patients demonstrated a significant degree of upper airway stenosis, as well as a more anterior hyoid bone displacement. Two patients had a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea. 18F-NaF Positron-emission tomography (PET)-CT revealed increased uptake associated with the skull base and gnathic bones in all patients. In conclusion, this first detailed systematic evaluation of the craniofacial phenotype of patients with JMC demonstrates a distinct and pronounced phenotype that predominantly affects the NCC-derived cranial bones indicating a critical role of PTH1R signaling in their development. These affects can result in significant disease-related morbidity, include hearing loss, nerve compression, craniosynostosis, dentoskeletal malocclusion, and airway compromise; all of which require close monitoring.
