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

purposeThe prevalence of developmental disabilities in the United States is reported to be 13.87% across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Microarrays have been recommended as first-tier tests for these patients. This study reports the diagnostic yield and potential actionability of findings using a high-density chromosomal microarray (CMA).

methodsThe diagnostic yield of CytoScan Dx Assay in 960 patients was assessed with the Riggs criteria of actionability to evaluate predicted clinical utility.

resultsEighty-six percent of the subjects were assessed using a microarray as part of historical routine patient care (RPC). The rate of pathogenic findings was similar between RPC (13.3%) and the CytoScan Dx Assay (13.8%). Among the 138 patients who did not receive microarray as RPC, the diagnostic yield for CytoScan Dx Assay was 23.9% as compared with 14.5%, indicating a 9.4% improvement when using higher-resolution methods. Thirty-five percent of patients with abnormal findings had predicted clinical management implications.

conclusionsThis is the first study to assess the clinical performance of CytoScan Dx Assay. The assay's diagnostic yields are similar to those found in other studies of CMAs. Thirty-five percent of patients with abnormal findings are predicted to have clinical management implications that may improve health outcomes.
