Review in Human mutation, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 50 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Massive parallel sequencing technology has become the predominant technique for genetic diagnostics and research. Many genetic laboratories have wrestled with the challenges of setting up genetic testing workflows based on a completely new technology. The learning curve we went through as a laboratory was accompanied by growing pains while we gained new knowledge and expertise. Here we discuss some important mistakes that have been made in our laboratory through 10 years of clinical exome sequencing but that have given us important new insights on how to adapt our working methods. We provide these examples and the lessons that we learned to help other laboratories avoid to make the same mistakes.
