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

Introduction: Hearing impairment (HI) is characterized by complex genetic heterogeneity. The evolution of next generation sequencing, including targeted enrichment panels, has revolutionized HI diagnosis. Objectives: In this study, we investigated genetic causes in 22 individuals with non- Methods: We customized a Haloplex Results: In accordance with the ACMG/AMP guidelines, we report 11 pathogenic variants; as follows; five novel variants including three missense ( Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings do not only expand the spectrum of HI mutations in Tunisian patients, but also improve our knowledge about clinical relevance of HI causing genes and variants.
