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

introductionIntellectual disability (ID) is often sporadic, and its complex etiology makes clinical diagnosis extremely difficult.

objectiveThe aims of this study were to detect copy number variations (CNVs) in patients with ID and to analyze the correlation between pathogenic CNVs and clinical phenotype.

methodsAfter cases of ID caused by metabolic dysfunction or environmental factors were excluded, 64 patients with moderate to severe ID were enrolled. Karyotype and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analyses were performed for all patients. The relationship between CNVs and phenotype was identified with genotype-phenotype comparisons and by searching CNV databases.

resultsKaryotype analysis showed four patients with chromosomal aneuploidy and seven with chromosomal structural abnormality. After excluding the four cases with chromosomal aneuploidy, the remaining 60 cases were analyzed using SNP array. The results revealed 87 CNVs in 45 cases, including 16 pathogenic CNVs in 12 individuals, with a diagnostic yield of 20.0% (12/60). We found large deletions at 16q22.2q23.1 and 3q24q25.32 in two patients, respectively, in whom specific syndromes had not been defined. Our array analysis showed one case carried a 210 kb deletion at 1p21.2p21.3, which included only one coding gene LPPR4, which might be a candidate gene for ID phenotype.

conclusionsUse of the genome-wide array method can improve the detection rate of CNVs, reveal chromosomal abnormalities that have not been well-characterized by cytology, and provide a new way to locate genes for patients with the ID phenotype. Interpretation of CNVs remains a major challenge. Sharing of CNVs and phenotype information from different laboratories in public databases is important.
