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

purposeFour consanguineous Jordanian families with affected members of unknown gastrointestinal related diseases were recruited to assess the utility and efficiency of whole exome sequencing (WES) in reaching the definitive diagnosis. PATIENTS AND

methodsMembers from four consanguineous Jordanian families were recruited in this study. Laboratory and imaging tests were used for initial diagnosis, followed by performing WES to test all affected members for the detection of causative variants. Sanger sequencing was used for validation.

resultsWe had a 100% success rate identifying each case presented in this study.

conclusionThis is the first study applying a WES testing approach in the diagnosis of pediatric diseases in Jordan. Our results strongly suggest the need to implement WES as an evident diagnostic tool in the clinical setting, as it will subsequently allow for proper disease management and genetic counseling.
