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

contextThe genetic architecture of isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) has not been completely defined.

objectiveTo determine the role of copy number variants (CNVs) in IHH pathogenicity and define their phenotypic spectrum.

methodsExome sequencing (ES) data in IHH probands (n = 1394) (Kallmann syndrome [IHH with anosmia; KS], n = 706; normosmic IHH [nIHH], n = 688) and family members (n = 1092) at the Reproductive Endocrine Unit and the Center for Genomic Medicine of Massachusetts General Hospital were analyzed for CNVs and single nucleotide variants (SNVs)/indels in 62 known IHH genes. IHH subjects without SNVs/indels in known genes were considered "unsolved." Phenotypes associated with CNVs were evaluated through review of patient medical records. A total of 29 CNVs in 13 genes were detected (overall IHH cohort prevalence: ~2%). Almost all (28/29) CNVs occurred in unsolved IHH cases. While some genes (eg, ANOS1 and FGFR1) frequently harbor both CNVs and SNVs/indels, the mutational spectrum of others (eg, CHD7) was restricted to SNVs/indels. Syndromic phenotypes were seen in 83% and 63% of IHH subjects with multigenic and single gene CNVs, respectively.

conclusionCNVs in known genes contribute to ~2% of IHH pathogenesis. Predictably, multigenic contiguous CNVs resulted in syndromic phenotypes. Syndromic phenotypes resulting from single gene CNVs validate pleiotropy of some IHH genes. Genome sequencing approaches are now needed to identify novel genes and/or other elusive variants (eg, noncoding/complex structural variants) that may explain the remaining missing etiology of IHH.
