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

Reproductive genetic carrier screening (RGCS) has a history spanning more than 50 years, but for most of that time has been limited to screening for one or a few conditions in targeted population groups. The advent of massively parallel sequencing has led to rapid growth in screening for panels of up to hundreds of genes. Such panels typically include numerous genes associated with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM). There are considerable potential benefits for families from screening, but there are also risks and potential pitfalls. The IEM community has a vital role to play in guiding gene selection and assisting with the complexities that arise from screening, including interpreting complex biochemical assays and counselling at-risk couples about phenotypes and treatments.
