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

Genetic testing has been a routine part of paediatic medicine for decades. Over time, the number of genetic tests available for children presenting with features thought to be explained by an underlying genetic aetiology has expanded considerably. Genome-wide sequencing approaches (e.g., whole-exome sequencing, whole-genome sequencing) are now emerging as the most comprehensive approaches to genetic diagnosis that we have seen to date; multiple serial tests that were once required for a child under diagnostic investigation can now be accomplished in a single assay. Moreover, the performance of this single assay appears to be superior to the sum of its parts. Despite this promise, technical, ethical and access-related complexities require considerable attention prior to the implementation of these tools in mainstream paediatrics. To ready paediatricians for the eventual transition to genome-based diagnostics, herein we review both the elements and delivery considerations of this emerging technology.
