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

backgroundApplication of whole genome sequencing (WGS) enables identification of non-coding variants that play a phenotype-modifying role and are undetectable by exome sequencing. Recently, non-coding regulatory single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have been reported in patients with lethal lung developmental disorders (LLDDs) or congenital scoliosis with recurrent copy-number variant (CNV) deletions at 17q23.1q23.2 or 16p11.2, respectively. CASE PRESENTATION: Here, we report a deceased newborn with pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary interstitial emphysema with features suggestive of pulmonary hypoplasia, resulting in respiratory failure and neonatal death soon after birth. Using the array comparative genomic hybridization and WGS, two heterozygous recurrent CNV deletions: ~ 2.2 Mb on 17q23.1q23.2, involving TBX4, and ~ 600 kb on 16p11.2, involving TBX6, that both arose de novo on maternal chromosomes were identified. In the predicted lung-specific enhancer upstream to TBX4, we have detected seven novel putative regulatory non-coding SNVs that were absent in 13 control individuals with the overlapping deletions but without any structural lung anomalies.

conclusionsOur findings further support a recently reported model of complex compound inheritance of LLDD in which both non-coding and coding heterozygous TBX4 variants contribute to the lung phenotype. In addition, this is the first report of a patient with combined de novo heterozygous recurrent 17q23.1q23.2 and 16p11.2 CNV deletions.
