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

Technological and other advances over the past decades have led to the discovery of thousands of gene-disease associations for autosomal and X-linked recessive Mendelian disorders. Combined with recent improvements in assessing individual variants in each human genome, these developments offer the possibility of testing populations for all known severe recessive genetic disorders. Past experience has provided the framework for expanded carrier screening, but many challenges remain regarding which disorders to include, how to interpret variants and how to incorporate newly discovered gene-disease links into existing screening programmes.
