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

objectiveTo analyze the phenotypic features and pathogenic variants of three unrelated families presenting with nonsyndromic auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD).

methodsThree recruited families that were affected by congenital deafness were clinically evaluated, including a detailed family history and audiological and radiological examination. The peripheral blood of all patients and their parents was collected for DNA extraction, and then, the exonic and flanking regions were enriched and sequenced using targeted capture and high-throughput sequencing technology. Bioinformatics analyses and the Sanger sequencing were carried out to screen and validate candidate pathogenic variants. The pathogenicity of candidate variants was evaluated by an approach that was based on the standards and guidelines for interpreting genetic variants as proposed by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).

resultsFour patients in three families were diagnosed as nonsyndromic ANSD, and all exhibited

conclusionsThree unrelated pedigrees with ANSD were caused by pathogenic variants in the
