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

Profiling genetic variants-including single nucleotide variants, small insertions and deletions, copy number variations, and structural variations (SVs)-from both healthy individuals and individuals with disease is a key component of genetic and biomedical research. SVs are large-scale changes in the genome and involve breakage and rejoining of DNA fragments. They may affect thousands to millions of nucleotides and can lead to loss, gain, and reshuffling of genes and regulatory elements. SVs are known to impact gene expression and potentially result in altered phenotypes and diseases. Therefore, identifying SVs from the human genomes is particularly important. In this review, I describe advantages and disadvantages of the available high-throughput assays for the discovery of SVs, which are the most challenging genetic alterations to detect. A practical guide is offered to suggest the most suitable strategies for discovering different types of SVs including common germline, rare, somatic, and complex variants. I also discuss factors to be considered, such as cost and performance, for different strategies when designing experiments. Last, I present several approaches to identify potential SV artifacts caused by samples, experimental procedures, and computational analysis. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
