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

Hereditary hearing loss is a monogenic disease with high genetic heterogeneity. Variants in more than 100 deafness genes underlie the basis of its pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to assess the ratio of SNVs in known deafness genes contributing to the etiology of both sporadic and familial sensorineural hearing loss patients from China. DNA samples from 1127 individuals, including normal hearing controls (n = 616), sporadic SNHL patients (n = 433), and deaf individuals (n = 78) from 30 hearing loss pedigrees were collected. The NGS tests included analysis of sequence alterations in 129 genes. The variants were interpreted according to the ACMG/AMP guidelines for genetic hearing loss combined with NGS data from 616 ethnically matched normal hearing adult controls. We identified a positive molecular diagnosis in 226 patients with sporadic SNHL (52.19%) and in patients from 17 deafness pedigrees (56.67%). Ethnically matched MAF filtering reduced the variants of unknown significance by 8.7%, from 6216 to 5675. Some complexities that may restrict causative variant identification are discussed. This report highlight the clinical utility of NGS panels identifying disease-causing variants for the diagnosis of hearing loss and underlines the importance of a broad data of control and ACMG/AMP standards for accurate clinical delineation of VUS variants.
