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

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a group of conditions with congenital joint contractures in at least two body regions. ACTC1 variants cause heart disorders but have also been reported in six families with AMC. We report on two individuals with AMC who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr). Individual 1 had scoliosis and no reported cardiac phenotype. Individual 2 had Shone's complex with coarctation of the aorta, which has not been reported in ACTC1-related AMC before. In vitro testing demonstrated that p.Glu109Lys caused impaired actin filament assembly and reduced ACTC1 protein levels, effects not apparent for p.Lys217Thr. Our findings characterize two novel variants that cause ACTC1-related AMC and expand the list of phenotypes observed in this disorder.
