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

backgroundCopy number variations (CNVs) are largely known today, but their position is rarely established by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) or karyotype analysis. CASE PRESENTATION: We described two families with copy number gain in which FISH analysis with the specific subtelomeric probe of chromosome 4q and 7q evidenced a third signal at band 13p11.2. Genomic study by array comparative genomic hybridization defined the triple dose segment. In the first case, the duplicate tract is free of known genes, in the second one it contained three expressed genes.

conclusionsThe CNV localization on the short arm of an acrocentric chromosome could explain the lack of phenotypic effect, being known the regulatory role of heterochromatin in the position-effect silencing. Furthermore, we would like to underline the importance of using complementary techniques such as FISH and array-CGH to obtain a better definition of genomic rearrangements.
