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

backgroundFanconi anemia (FA) affects only one in 130,000 births, but has severe and diverse clinical consequences. It has been theorized that defects in the FA DNA cross-link repair complex lead to a spectrum of variants that are responsible for those diverse clinical phenotypes.

methodsUsing NextGen sequencing, we show that a clinically derived FA cell line had accumulated numerous genetic variants, including high-impact mutations, such as deletion of start codons, introduction of premature stop codons, missense mutations, and INDELs.

resultsAbout 65% of SNPs and 55% of INDELs were found to be commonly present in both the FA dysfunctional and retrovirally corrected cell lines, showing their common origin. The number of INDELs, but not SNPs, is decreased in FANCD2-corrected samples, suggesting that FANCD2 deficiency preferentially promotes the origin of INDELs. These genetic modifications had a considerable effect on the transcriptome, with statistically significant changes in the expression of 270 genes. These genetic and transcriptomic variants significantly impacted pathways and molecular functions, spanning a diverse spectrum of disease phenotypes/symptoms, consistent with the disease diversity seen in FA patients.

conclusionThese results underscore the consequences of defects in the DNA cross-link repair mechanism and indicate that accumulating diverse mutations from individual parent cells may make it difficult to anticipate the longitudinal clinical behavior of emerging disease states in an individual with FA.
