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

The most common recurrent copy-number variants associated with autism, developmental delay and epilepsy are flanked by segmental duplications. Complete genetic characterization of these events is challenging because their breakpoints often occur within high-identity, copy-number polymorphic paralogous sequences that cannot be specifically assayed using hybridization-based methods. Here we provide a protocol for breakpoint resolution with sequence-level precision. Massively parallel sequencing is performed on libraries generated from haplotype-resolved chromosomes, genomic DNA or molecular inversion probe (MIP)-captured breakpoint-informative regions harboring paralog-distinguishing variants. Quantification of sequencing depth over informative sites enables breakpoint localization, typically within several kilobases to tens of kilobases. Depending on the approach used, the sequencing platform, and the accuracy and completeness of the reference genome sequence, this protocol takes from a few days to several months to complete. Once established for a specific genomic disorder, it is possible to process thousands of DNA samples within as little as 3-4 weeks.
