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

Effective exchange of information about genetic variants is currently hampered by the lack of readily available globally unique variant identifiers that would enable aggregation of information from different sources. The ClinGen Allele Registry addresses this problem by providing (1) globally unique "canonical" variant identifiers (CAids) on demand, either individually or in large batches; (2) access to variant-identifying information in a searchable Registry; (3) links to allele-related records in many commonly used databases; and (4) services for adding links to information about registered variants in external sources. A core element of the Registry is a canonicalization service, implemented using in-memory sequence alignment-based index, which groups variant identifiers denoting the same nucleotide variant and assigns unique and dereferenceable CAids. More than 650 million distinct variants are currently registered, including those from gnomAD, ExAC, dbSNP, and ClinVar, including a small number of variants registered by Registry users. The Registry is accessible both via a web interface and programmatically via well-documented Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface (REST-APIs). For programmatic interoperability, the Registry content is accessible in the JavaScript Object Notation for Linked Data (JSON-LD) format. We present several use cases and demonstrate how the linked information may provide raw material for reasoning about variant's pathogenicity.
