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

With the advent and widespread adoption of high-throughput DNA sequencing, genetic discoveries in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are advancing very rapidly. The identification of novel NDD genes and of rare, highly penetrant pathogenic variants is leading to improved understanding of genotype-phenotype correlations. Here we emphasize the importance of large-scale, reference databases such as gnomAD to determine gene and variant level constraints and facilitate gene discovery, variant interpretation, and genotype-phenotype correlations. While the majority of dominant NDD genes are highly intolerant to variation, some apparent exceptions in reference databases are related to the presence of variants in transcripts that are not brain expressed and/or genes that show acquired somatic mosaicism in blood. Multiple NDD genes are being identified where varying phenotypes depend on the mode of inheritance (e.g., dominant or recessive), the nature (e.g., missense or truncating), or location of the mutation. Ongoing genome-wide analyses and targeted functional studies provide enhancements to the annotation of genes, gene products and variants, which will continue to facilitate gene and variant discovery and variant interpretation.
