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

Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by abnormal telomere shortening. We herein report the case of a 40-year-old man with classic DC characterized by a mucocutaneous triad complicated by pulmonary fibrosis and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The telomere length of lymphocytes was extremely short (-3.3 standard deviations). We identified the germline mutation c.C91A in DKC1 gene. We also identified a somatic mutation c.C101T in the U2AF1 gene of leukocytes, which may be associated with MDS development. Nintedanib was started, but the patient died of bilateral pneumothorax 6 months after diagnosis.
