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

objectivesThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of mutations in tumor suppressor genes using whole-exome sequencing data from centenarians and young healthy individuals.

methodsTwo pools, one of centenarians and one of young individuals, were constructed and whole-exome sequencing was performed. We examined the whole-exome sequencing data of Bulgarian individuals for carriership of tumor suppressor gene variants.

resultsOf all variants annotated in both pools, 5080 (0.06%) are variants in tumor suppressor genes but only 46 show significant difference in allele frequencies between the two studied groups. Four variants (0.004%) are pathogenic/risk factors according to single nucleotide polymorphism database: rs1566734 in DISCUSSION: Based on their high minor allele frequencies and presence in the centenarian group, we could reclassify them from pathogenic/risk factors to benign. Our study shows that centenarian exomes can be used for re-evaluating the clinically uncertain variants.
