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

backgroundFanconi anemia (FA) is the most common inherited bone marrow failure syndrome. However, establishing its molecular diagnosis remains challenging. Chromosomal breakage analysis is the gold standard diagnostic test for this disease. Nevertheless, molecular analysis is always required for the identification of pathogenic alterations in the FA genes.

resultsWe report here on a family with FA diagnosis in two siblings. Mitomycin C (MMC) test revealed high level of chromosome breaks and radial figures. In both children, array-Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) showed maternally inherited 16q24.3 deletion, including FANCA gene, and next generation sequencing (NGS) disclosed paternally inherited novel variants in the FANCA gene-Asn1113Tyr and Ser890Asn. A third sibling was shown to be a carrier of FANCA deletion only.

conclusionsAlthough genetic testing in FA patients often requires a multi-method approach including chromosome breakage test, aCGH, and NGS, every effort should be made to make it available for whole FA families. This is not only to confirm the clinical diagnosis of FA in affected individuals, but also to enable identification of carriers of FA gene(s) alterations, as it has implications for diagnostic and genetic counselling process.
