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

purposeData on the clinical prevalence and spectrum of uniparental disomy (UPD) remain limited. Trio exome sequencing (ES) presents a comprehensive method for detection of UPD alongside sequence and copy-number variant analysis.

methodsWe analyzed 32,067 ES trios referred for diagnostic testing to create a profile of UPD events and their disease associations. ES single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and copy-number data were used to identify both whole-chromosome and segmental UPD and to categorize whole-chromosome results as isodisomy, heterodisomy, or mixed.

resultsNinety-nine whole-chromosome and 13 segmental UPD events were identified. Of these, 29 were associated with an imprinting disorder, and 16 were associated with a positive test result through homozygous sequence variants. Isodisomy was more commonly observed in large chromosomes along with a higher rate of homozygous pathogenic variants, while heterodisomy was more frequent in chromosomes associated with imprinting or trisomy mosaicism (14, 15, 16, 20, 22).

conclusionWhole-chromosome UPD was observed in 0.31% of cases, resulting in a diagnostic finding in 0.14%. Only three UPD-positive cases had a diagnostic finding unrelated to the UPD. Thirteen UPD events were identified in cases with prior normal SNP chromosomal microarray results, demonstrating the additional diagnostic value of UPD detection by trio ES.
