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

We implemented a collaborative diagnostic program in Lahore (Pakistan) aiming to establish the genetic diagnosis, and to asses diagnostic yield and clinical impact in patients with suspected genetic diseases. Local physicians ascertained pediatric patients who had no previous access to genetic testing. More than 1586 genetic tests were performed in 1019 individuals (349 index cases, 670 relatives). Most frequently performed tests were exome/genome sequencing (ES/GS, 284/78 index cases) and specific gene panels (55 index cases). In 61.3% of the patients (
