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

The widespread use of genomic copy number analysis has revealed many previously unknown genomic structural variations, including some which are more complex. In this study, three consecutive microdeletions were identified in the same chromosome by microarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis for a patient with a neurodevelopmental disorder. Subsequent fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analyses unexpectedly suggested complicated translocations and inversions. For better understanding of the mechanism, breakpoint junctions were analyzed by nanopore sequencing, as a new long-read whole-genome sequencing (WGS) tool. The results revealed a new chromosomal disruption, giving rise to four junctions in chromosome 7. According the sequencing results of breakpoint junctions, all junctions were considered as the consequence of multiple double-strand breaks and the reassembly of DNA fragments by nonhomologous end-joining, indicating chromothripsis. KMT2E, located within the deletion region, was considered as the gene responsible for the clinical features of the patient. Combinatory usage of aCGH and FISH analyses would be recommended for interpretation of structural variations analyzed through WGS.
