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

MRPS14 (uS14m) is a nuclear-encoded ribosomal protein important for mitochondria-specific translation. To date, only a single individual with a recessive MRPS14-related disorder (also known as COXPD38) has been reported. We report an additional subject possessing novel compound heterozygous MRPS14 variants (p.Asp37Asn, p.Asn60Asp). The subject presented at 2 years with motor and language delays associated with elevated serum lactate/alanine levels. Brain MRI showed a constellation of signal abnormalities consistent with Leigh Syndrome, while MR spectroscopy had an increased lactate peak. Western blots of fibroblasts showed decreased MRPS14 and COX2 protein levels. These results support the pathogenicity of the MRPS14 variants identified here.
