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

The human genome contains more than one million tandem repeats (TRs), DNA sequences containing multiple approximate copies of a motif repeated contiguously. TRs account for significant genetic variation, with 50 + diseases attributed to changes in motif number. A few diseases have been to be caused by small indels in variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) including poly-cystic kidney disease type 1 (MCKD1) and monogenic type 1 diabetes. However, small indels in VNTRs are largely unexplored mainly due to the long and complex structure of VNTRs with multiple motifs. We developed a method, code-adVNTR, that utilizes multi-motif hidden Markov models to detect both, motif count variation and small indels, within VNTRs. In simulated data, code-adVNTR outperformed GATK-HaplotypeCaller in calling small indels within large VNTRs. We used code-adVNTR to characterize coding VNTRs in the 1000 genomes data identifying many population-specific variants, and to reliably call
