Distribution and transmission of copy number variations of uncertain significance in 105 trios.
Article in Molecular genetics & genomic medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
backgroundThe distribution and genetic characteristics of copy number variations (CNVs) remain unclear. Here, we investigated the distribution and transmission of CNVs of uncertain significance in fetuses.
methodsLow-coverage massively parallels CNV sequencing of 105 families (parents and their fetuses) was performed to identify fetal CNVs of uncertain significance.
resultsIn the 105 fetuses, 176 CNVs of uncertain significance were detected, and the average number of CNVs carried by fetuses was 1.68 ± 0.80. Among the CNVs carried by the fetuses, 79.8% were inherited (~90.0% of the fetuses) and 20.2% were new mutations (~30.0% of the fetuses). We found that 58.9% CNVs were of maternal origin and 41.1% were of paternal origin. Among the CNV subtypes, de novo CNV distribution was significantly different from inherited CNV distribution. There was no difference in the distribution of maternal and paternal CNV subtypes in the fetuses. The proportion of microdeletions (36.7%) and microduplications (63.3%) was similar in the fetuses and parents. Furthermore, we found that when parents carried more CNVs of uncertain significance, the chance of passing them on to their offspring decreased.
conclusionThis study deepens our understanding of the genetic mechanisms associated with CNV transmission to assist clinicians in prenatal counseling.
