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

The genesis of whole exome sequencing as a powerful tool for detailing the protein coding sequence of the human genome was conceptualized based on the availability of next-generation sequencing technology and knowledge of the human reference genome. The field of pediatric nephrology enriched with molecularly unsolved phenotypes is allowing the clinical and research application of whole exome sequencing to enable novel gene discovery and provide amendment of phenotypic misclassification. Recent studies in the field have informed us that newer high-throughput sequencing techniques are likely to be of high yield when applied in conjunction with conventional genomic approaches such as linkage analysis and other strategies used to focus subsequent analysis. They have also emphasized the need for the validation of novel genetic findings in large collaborative cohorts and the production of robust corroborative biological data. The well-structured application of comprehensive genomic testing in clinical and research arenas will hopefully continue to advance patient care and precision medicine, but does call for attention to be paid to its integrated challenges.
