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

backgroundLittle information is available regarding the penetrance of 1q21.1 copy number variants (CNVs). In the present study, we explored the clinical significance of 1q21.1 microdeletion or microduplication.

methodsIn four families, chromosome karyotype was analyzed using G-banding karyotype analysis technology. CNVs were detected using array-comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and then a quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to validate candidate CNVs. Sequence signature in the breakpoint region was analyzed using University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) databases.

resultsExcept for karyotype 45, XX, der (13, 14) (q10, q10) in the mother (I2) of family 2, the karyotype was normal in all other members of the four families. In the mother (I2) and fetus (II2) of family 1, in newborn (II1) of family 2 and in fetus (II1) of family 3, there was 1.22-Mb heterozygous microdeletion in the chromosome 1q21.1q21.2 region. The child (II1) of family 4 had a 1.46-Mb heterozygous microduplication in the chromosome 1q21.1q21.2 region. The results of the qPCR were consistent with that of aCGH. There was large number of low copy repeats (LCRs) in the breakpoint region found by analysis of the UCSC database, and multiple LCRs were matched with sequences in the chromosome 1 short-arm region.

conclusions1q21.1 microdeletion and microduplication exhibit a variety of clinical manifestations and the specificity of their clinical features is not high. The penetrance of the distal 1q21.1 microdeletion may be affected by other factors in the present study. In summary, we report the discovery of a new distal 1q21.1 microduplication, which enriches the CNV spectrum in the 1q21.1 region and is conducive to prenatal genetic counseling.
