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

A complete characterization of genetic variation is a fundamental goal of human genome research. Long-read sequencing has improved the sensitivity of structural variant discovery. Here, we conduct the long-read sequencing-based structural variant analysis for 405 unrelated Chinese individuals, with 68 phenotypic and clinical measurements. We discover a landscape of 132,312 nonredundant structural variants, of which 45.2% are novel. The identified structural variants are of high-quality, with an estimated false discovery rate of 3.2%. The concatenated length of all the structural variants is approximately 13.2% of the human reference genome. We annotate 1,929 loss-of-function structural variants affecting the coding sequence of 1,681 genes. We discover rare deletions in HBA1/HBA2/HBB associated with anemia. Furthermore, we identify structural variants related to immunity which differentiate the northern and southern Chinese populations. Our study describes the landscape of structural variants in the Chinese population and their contribution to phenotypes and disease.
