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 treatment of major birth defects are key concerns for child health. Hitherto, for the majority of birth defects, the underlying cause remains unknown, likely to be heterogeneous. The implicated mortality and/or reduced fecundity in major birth defects suggest a significant fraction of mutational de novo events among the affected individuals. With the advent of systematic array-based molecular karyotyping, larger cohorts of affected individuals have been screened over the past decade. This review discusses the identification of disease-causing copy-number variations (CNVs) among individuals with different congenital malformations. It highlights the differences in findings depending on the respective congenital malformation. It looks at the differences in findings of CNV analysis in non-isolated complex congenital malformations, associated with central nervous system malformations or intellectual disabilities, compared to isolated single organ-system malformations. We propose that the more complex an organ system is, and the more genes involved during embryonic development, the more likely it is that mutational de novo events, comprising CNVs, will confer to the expression of birth defects of this organ system.
