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

backgroundCongenital hearing loss is one of the most common sensory disorders, with 50-70% of cases attributable to genetic causes. Although recent advances in the identification of deafness genes have resulted in more accurate molecular diagnosis, leading to the better determination of suitable clinical interventions, difficulties remain with regard to clinical applications due to the extreme genetic heterogeneity of deafness.

aimToward more effective genetic testing, we adopted Massively Parallel DNA Sequencing (MPS) of target genes using an Ion PGM™ system and an Ion AmpliSeq™ panel to diagnose common mutations responsible for deafness and discover rare causative gene mutations. Before its clinical application, we investigated the accuracy of MPS-based genetic testing.

resultsWe compared the results of Invader assay-based genetic screening, the accuracy of which has already been verified in previous studies, with those of MPS-based genetic testing for a large population of Japanese deafness patients and revealed that over 99.98% of the results were the same for each genetic testing system.

conclusionThe Ion Personal Genome Machine system had sufficient uniformity and accuracy for application to the clinical diagnosis of common causative mutations and efficiently identified rare causative mutations and/or mutation candidates.
