Experience with genomic sequencing in pediatric patients with congenital cardiac defects in a large community hospital.
Article in Molecular genetics & genomic medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCongenital cardiac defects, whether isolated or as part of a larger syndrome, are the most common type of human birth defect occurring on average in about 1% of live births depending on the malformation. As there is an expanding understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms by which a cardiac defect may occur, there is a need to assess the current rates of diagnosis of cardiac defects by molecular sequencing in a clinical setting. METHODS AND
resultsIn this report, we evaluated 34 neonatal and pediatric patients born with a cardiac defect and their parents using exomized preexisting whole genome sequencing (WGS) data to model clinically available exon-based tests. Overall, we identified candidate variants in previously reported cardiac-related genes in 35% (12/34) of the probands. These include clearly pathogenic variants in two of 34 patients (6%) and variants of uncertain significance in relevant genes in 10 patients (26%), of these latter 10, 2 segregated with clinically apparent findings in the family trios.
conclusionsThese findings suggest that with current knowledge of the proteins underlying CHD, genomic sequencing can identify the underlying genetic etiology in certain patients; however, this technology currently does not have a high enough yield to be of routine clinical use in the screening of pediatric congenital cardiac defects.
