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

A mutation rendering microtubulin and microtubule-associated proteins ineffective leads to a tubulinopathy known as complex cortical dysplasia (CCD), characterized by clinical heterogeneity and a variety of cortical brain developmental abnormalities. These often commence with intellectual disability, epileptic seizures, and motor disorders. In this case, we present a 6-year-old child with CCD whose symptoms began with central precocious puberty. Whole-exome sequencing uncovered a TUBB2B gene heterozygous mutation, NM_178012.5:c.74G > A (p.Ser25Asn). To our knowledge, this mutation has not been previously documented. Computational structural analysis indicated that this variant alters the hydrogen bonding between Ser25 and Trp21, Gly29, and Ile30, thus modifying the secondary structure and function of the protein, contributing to the child's unique clinical presentation. These findings expand the range of TUBB2B gene variants and offer a direction for the precise treatment of this child, underscoring the importance of brain magnetic resonance imaging in children with central precocious puberty.
