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

Neurological diseases encompass a broad, heterogeneous group of disorders ranging from pediatric neurodevelopmental diseases to late-onset neurodegenerative diseases, most of which are poorly understood and few of which are curable. Most of these diseases have a genetic basis and thus are expected to be amenable to genetic or genomic analysis by next-generation sequencing (NGS). While the advancement of contemporary technologies (such as NGS) is exciting, translating this tool into actual benefit for patients and clinicians can be challenging. In a clinical setting, a sequencing test that is fast, non-invasive, cheap and with perfect specificity would be ideal. However, in practice, there are several hurdles and caveats to consider even before a NGS diagnostic testing can be optimally applied. Proper definition of clinical phenotype, selection of the most appropriate subjects and the clinical setting, optimization of both sensitivity and specificity of the test, evaluation of the availability of the infrastructure and expertise, and consideration of economic, ethical and legal issues are vital in the final application of NGS diagnostic screening in the clinics.
