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

objectiveTo assess the efficiency of target-enrichment next-generation sequencing (NGS) with copy number assessment in inherited neuropathy diagnosis.

methodsA 197 polyneuropathy gene panel was designed to assess for mutations in 93 patients with inherited or idiopathic neuropathy without known genetic cause. We applied our novel copy number variation algorithm on NGS data, and validated the identified copy number mutations using CytoScan (Affymetrix). Cost and efficacy of this targeted NGS approach was compared to earlier evaluations.

resultsAverage coverage depth was ∼760× (median = 600, 99.4% > 100×). Among 93 patients, 18 mutations were identified in 17 cases (18%), including 3 copy number mutations: 2 PMP22 duplications and 1 MPZ duplication. The 2 patients with PMP22 duplication presented with bulbar and respiratory involvement and had absent extremity nerve conductions, leading to axonal diagnosis. Average onset age of these 17 patients was 25 years (2-61 years), vs 45 years for those without genetic discovery. Among those with onset age less than 40 years, the diagnostic yield of targeted NGS approach is high (27%) and cost savings is significant (∼20%). However, the cost savings for patients with late onset age and without family history is not demonstrated.

conclusionsIncorporating copy number analysis in target-enrichment NGS approach improved the efficiency of mutation discovery for chronic, inherited, progressive length-dependent polyneuropathy diagnosis. The new technology is facilitating a simplified genetic diagnostic algorithm utilizing targeted NGS, clinical phenotypes, age at onset, and family history to improve diagnosis efficiency. Our findings prompt a need for updating the current practice parameters and payer guidelines.
