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

backgroundThe HUWE1 gene plays a crucial role in mediating embryonic development as well as the differentiation and proliferation of neural cells. Variants in the HUWE1 are closely associated with intellectual developmental disorder. This study is designed to characterize the clinical phenotype of neurodevelopmental disorder in a cohort of seven children associated with variants in the HUWE1.

methodsBlood samples of seven children with neurodevelopmental disorders and their parents were collected for trio whole exome sequencing. HUWE1 (NM_031407) variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing.

resultsA total of 7 children were diagnosed as HUWE1-related neurodevelopmental disorder, involving three girls and four boys. All these HUWE1 variants were missense variants (four newly detected HUWE1 variant sites). This study suggested that HUWE1 variants posed varying influences on the facial features, height and speech, social and gross motor skills. Specifically, children with the p. Gly4310Arg variant presented malocclusion-associated chewing and swallowing difficulties.

conclusionOur findings further broaden the genotypic-phenotypic spectrum of HUWE1 variants and highlight the crucial role of the HECT domain in the pathogenicity of HUWE1 gene variants. Moreover, children with HUWE1 variants exhibited certain symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), social dysfunction and abnormal chewing function, which warrant further investigation.
