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

During the last few years, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has undergone a rapid transition from a research setting to a clinical application, becoming the method of choice in many clinical genetics laboratories for the detection of disease-causing variants in a variety of genetic diseases involving multiple genes. The hemoglobinopathies are the most frequently found Mendelian inherited monogenic disease worldwide and are composed of a complex group of disorders frequently involving the inheritance of more than one abnormal gene. This review aims to present the role of NGS in both screening and pre- and post-natal diagnostics of the hemoglobinopathies, and the added value of NGS is discussed based on the results described in the literature. Overall, NGS has an added value in large-scale high throughput carrier screening and in the complex cases for which common molecular techniques have some inadequacies. It is proven that the majority of thalassemia cases and Hb variants can be diagnosed using routine analysis involving a combined approach of hematology, hemoglobin separation, and classical DNA methods; however, we conclude that NGS can be a useful addition to the existing methods in the diagnosis of these disorders.
