Personalized genetic counseling for Stargardt disease: Offspring risk estimates based on variant severity.
Article in American journal of human genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 39 papers.
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.
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
Recurrence risk calculations in autosomal recessive diseases are complicated when the effect of genetic variants and their population frequencies and penetrances are unknown. An example of this is Stargardt disease (STGD1), a frequent recessive retinal disease caused by bi-allelic pathogenic variants in ABCA4. In this cross-sectional study, 1,619 ABCA4 variants from 5,579 individuals with STGD1 were collected and categorized by (1) severity based on statistical comparisons of their frequencies in STGD1-affected individuals versus the general population, (2) their observed versus expected homozygous occurrence in STGD1-affected individuals, (3) their occurrence in combination with established mild alleles in STGD1-affected individuals, and (4) previous functional and clinical studies. We used the sum allele frequencies of these severity categories to estimate recurrence risks for offspring of STGD1-affected individuals and carriers of pathogenic ABCA4 variants. The risk for offspring of an STGD1-affected individual with the "severe|severe" genotype or a "severe|mild with complete penetrance" genotype to develop STGD1 at some moment in life was estimated at 2.8%-3.1% (1 in 36-32 individuals) and 1.6%-1.8% (1 in 62-57 individuals), respectively. The risk to develop STGD1 in childhood was estimated to be 2- to 4-fold lower: 0.68%-0.79% (1 in 148-126) and 0.34%-0.39% (1 in 296-252), respectively. In conclusion, we established personalized recurrence risk calculations for STGD1-affected individuals with different combinations of variants. We thus propose an expanded genotype-based personalized counseling to appreciate the variable recurrence risks for STGD1-affected individuals. This represents a conceptual breakthrough because risk calculations for STGD1 may be exemplary for many other inherited diseases.
