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

Chromosome abnormalities have long been recognised as an important cause of learning disability and multiple malformation syndromes; 0.8% of live born infants have numerical or structural chromosomal anomalies resulting in an abnormal phenotype. The identification of such anomalies is important, both clinically and for accurate genetic counselling. Recently, the human genome sequence has enabled higher resolution screens for chromosome anomalies using both molecular cytogenetic and array based techniques. This review suggests a simple algorithm for the targeted use of diagnostic cytogenetic tools in specific patient groups commonly seen in paediatric practice.
