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

purposeTo evaluate genetic testing platforms used to aid in the diagnosis of inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs).

designEvaluation of diagnostic tests and technologies. SUBJECTS: Targeted genetic panel testing for IRDs.

methodsData collected regarding targeted genetic panel testing for IRDs offered by different laboratories were investigated for the inclusion of coding and noncoding variants in disease genes. Both large IRD panels and smaller, more focused, disease-specific panels were included in the analysis.

main outcome measuresNumber of disease genes tested as well as the commonality and uniqueness across testing platforms in both coding and noncoding variants of disease.

resultsAcross the 3 IRD panel tests investigated, 409 unique genes are represented, of which 269 genes are tested by all 3 panels. The top 20 genes known to cause over 70% of all IRDs are represented in the 269 common genes tested by all 3 panels. In addition, 138 noncoding variants in 50 unique genes are assayed across the 3 platforms. Focused, disease-specific panels exhibit significant variability across the 5 testing platforms that were studied.

conclusionsOrdering genetic testing for IRDs is not straightforward, as evidenced by the multitude of panels available to providers. It is important that there is coverage of both coding and noncoding regions in IRD genes to offer diagnoses in these patients. This paper details the diversity of testing platforms currently available to clinicians and provides a thorough explanation of the genes tested in the different IRD panels. In a time of increased importance of the clinical genetic testing of patients with IRDs, knowledge of the proper test to order is paramount.
