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

Making a specific diagnosis in neurodevelopmental disorders is traditionally based on recognizing clinical features of a distinct syndrome, which guides testing of its possible genetic etiologies. Scalable frameworks for genomic diagnostics, however, have struggled to integrate meaningful measurements of clinical phenotypic features. While standardization has enabled generation and interpretation of genomic data for clinical diagnostics at unprecedented scale, making the equivalent breakthrough for clinical data has proven challenging. However, increasingly clinical features are being recorded using controlled dictionaries with machine readable formats such as the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO), which greatly facilitates their use in the diagnostic space. Improving the tractability of large-scale clinical information will present new opportunities to inform genomic research and diagnostics from a clinical perspective. Here, we describe novel approaches for computational phenotyping to harmonize clinical features, improve data translation through revising domain-specific dictionaries, quantify phenotypic features, and determine clinical relatedness. We demonstrate how these concepts can be applied to longitudinal phenotypic information, which represents a critical element of developmental disorders and pediatric conditions. Finally, we expand our discussion to clinical data derived from electronic medical records, a largely untapped resource of deep clinical information with distinct strengths and weaknesses.
