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

backgroundNewborn screening (NBS) in China is mainly aimed at detecting biochemical levels of metabolites in the blood, which may generate false-positive/negative results. Current biochemical NBS includes tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) screening for metabolites as well as phenylalanine (Phe), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), 17-α-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP), and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) test. This study intended to explore whether next-generation sequencing (NGS) for dried blood spots combining with biochemical screening could improve the current screening efficiency and to investigate the carrier frequencies of mutations in causative genes related to amino acid metabolism, organic acid metabolism, and fatty acid oxidation in this cohort.

methodsWe designed a panel of 573 genes related to severe inherited disorders and performed NGS in 1,127 individuals who had undergone biochemical NBS. The NGS screening results of neonates were used to compare with the biochemical results.

resultsNGS screening results revealed that all the four newborns with abnormal G6PD values carried hemizygous

conclusionsOur study highlighted that combining NGS screening with biochemical screening could improve the current NBS efficiency. This is the first study to investigate carrier frequencies of mutations in 77 genes causing inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) in China.
