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

To determine the phenotypic significance of copy number changes (CNCs) in the human genome, we performed genome-wide segmental aneuploidy profiling by BAC-based array-CGH of 278 unrelated patients with multiple congenital abnormalities and mental retardation (MCAMR) and in 48 unaffected family members. In 20 patients, we found de novo CNCs composed of multiple consecutive probes. Of the 125 probes making up these probably pathogenic CNCs, 14 were also found as single CNCs in other patients and 5 in healthy individuals. Thus, these CNCs are not by themselves pathogenic. Almost one out of five patients and almost one out of six healthy individuals in our study cohort carried a gain or a loss for any one of the recently discovered microdeletion/microduplication loci, whereas seven patients and one healthy individual showed losses or gains for at least two different loci. The pathogenic burden resulting from these CNCs may be limited as they were found with similar frequencies among patients and healthy individuals (P=0.165; Fischer's exact test), and several individuals showed CNCs at multiple loci. CNCs occurring specifically in our study cohort were enriched for components of the glutamate receptor family (GRIA2, GRIA4, GRIK2 and GRIK4) and genes encoding proteins involved in guiding cell localization during development (ATP1A2, GIRK3, GRIA2, KCNJ3, KCNJ10, KCNK17 and KCNK5). This indicates that disease cohort-specific compilations of CNCs may aid in identifying loci, genes and biological processes that contribute to the phenotype of patients.
