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

Importance: Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a spectrum of developmental and physical anomalies. Understanding the clinical and genetic landscape of CdLS in pediatric patients is crucial for improving diagnosis and management. Objective: To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of 19 pediatric patients with CdLS in China, with a focus on identifying the association between genetic variants and clinical severity. Methods: We performed whole exome sequencing on 19 patients with CdLS and compared their clinical characteristics based on the presence of null variants. Results: Among the 19 patients, 16 (84.2%) showed global developmental delays and 14 (73.7%) experienced prenatal growth retardation and short stature. Craniofacial anomalies-short noses and anteverted nares were observed in 94.7% (18/19) of patients. Small hands and/or feet were present in 16 patients, skin manifestations (hirsutism or mottled skin) in six, and hearing loss in four. Genetic testing identified 19 variants in Interpretation: This study highlights the clinical heterogeneity of CdLS and suggests a potential link between specific genetic variants and disease severity. These findings warrant further research to optimize treatments and better understand the functional impact of these genetic variants.
