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

Congenital limb malformations (CLMs) affect 1 in 500 live births. However, the value of exome sequencing (ES) for CLM is lacking. The purpose of this study was to decipher the mutational signature of CLM on an exome level. We enrolled a cohort of 66 unrelated probands (including 47 families) with CLM requiring surgical correction. ES was performed for all patients and available parental samples. A definite molecular diagnosis was achieved in 21 out of 66 (32%) patients. We identified 19 pathogenic or likely pathogenic single-nucleotide variants and three copy number variants, of which 11 variants were novel. We identified four variants of uncertain significance. Additionally, we identified
