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

Massively parallel sequencing is revolutionizing the genetic testing in diagnosis laboratories, replacing gene-by-gene investigations with a "gene panel" strategy. This new approach is particularly promising for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders affecting children as well as adults, which is constrained by strong clinical and genetic heterogeneity. While it leads to a strong improvement in molecular diagnosis, this new approach is dramatically changing the whole diagnosis process, establishing new decision trees and requiring integrated strategies between clinicians and laboratories. To have an overview of the implementation and benefit of these novel sequencing strategies for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders, we surveyed the current literature on the application of targeted genes panel sequencing, exome sequencing and genome sequencing. We highlight advantages and disadvantages of these different strategies in a diagnosis setting, discuss about unresolved cases, and point potential validation approaches and outcomes of massively parallel sequencing. It appears important to integrate such novel strategies with clinical, histopathological and imaging investigations, for a faster and more accurate diagnosis and patient care, and to foster research projects and clinical trials.
