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

backgroundDNA copy number variations (CNV) constitute an important source of genetic variability. The standard method used for CNV detection is array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH).

resultsWe propose a novel multiple sample aCGH analysis methodology aiming in rare CNVs detection. In contrast to the majority of previous approaches, which deal with cancer datasets, we focus on constitutional genomic abnormalities identified in a diverse spectrum of diseases in human. Our method is tested on exon targeted aCGH array of 366 patients affected with developmental delay/intellectual disability, epilepsy, or autism. The proposed algorithms can be applied as a post-processing filtering to any given segmentation method.

conclusionsThanks to the additional information obtained from multiple samples, we could efficiently detect significant segments corresponding to rare CNVs responsible for pathogenic changes. The robust statistical framework applied in our method enables to eliminate the influence of widespread technical artifact termed 'waves'.
