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

Paediatric research may well be the first field in which the ethical implications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) will be appreciated. Allowing as it does for the revelation of much more than just the disease gene being researched, the advent of NGS will require careful consideration of the return of research results and incidental findings to parents. In contrast to the choices offered to adults with regard to the return of both research results and incidental findings, the same does not hold true for children. Parents must act in their 'medical' best interests. Current policy guidance on this issue in Canada is unclear.
