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

To further our understanding of the complexity and genetic heterogeneity of rare diseases, it has become essential to shed light on how combinations of variants in different genes are responsible for a disease phenotype. With the appearance of a resource on digenic diseases, it has become possible to evaluate how digenic combinations differ in terms of the phenotypes they produce. All instances in this resource were assigned to two classes of digenic effects, annotated as true digenic and composite classes. Whereas in the true digenic class variants in both genes are required for developing the disease, in the composite class, a variant in one gene is sufficient to produce the phenotype, but an additional variant in a second gene impacts the disease phenotype or alters the age of onset. We show that a combination of variant, gene and higher-level features can differentiate between these two classes with high accuracy. Moreover, we show via the analysis of three digenic disorders that a digenic effect decision profile, extracted from the predictive model, motivates why an instance was assigned to either of the two classes. Together, our results show that digenic disease data generates novel insights, providing a glimpse into the oligogenic realm.
