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

Copy number variants (CNVs) play an important role in a number of human diseases, but the accurate calling of CNVs remains challenging. Most current approaches to CNV detection use raw read alignments, which are computationally intensive to process. We use a regression tree-based approach to call germline CNVs from whole-genome sequencing (WGS, >18x) variant call sets in 6,898 samples across four European cohorts, and describe a rich large variation landscape comprising 1,320 CNVs. Eighty-one percent of detected events have been previously reported in the Database of Genomic Variants. Twenty-three percent of high-quality deletions affect entire genes, and we recapitulate known events such as the GSTM1 and RHD gene deletions. We test for association between the detected deletions and 275 protein levels in 1,457 individuals to assess the potential clinical impact of the detected CNVs. We describe complex CNV patterns underlying an association with levels of the CCL3 protein (MAF = 0.15, p = 3.6x10
