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

purposeDe novo variants (DNVs) are a well-recognized cause of genetic disorders. The contribution of DNVs to hearing loss (HL) is poorly characterized. We aimed to evaluate the rate of DNVs in HL-associated genes and assess their contribution to HL.

methodsTargeted genomic enrichment and massively parallel sequencing were used for molecular testing of all exons and flanking intronic sequences of known HL-associated genes, with no exclusions on the basis of type of HL or clinical features. Segregation analysis was performed, and previous reports of DNVs in PubMed and ClinVar were reviewed to characterize the rate, distribution, and spectrum of DNVs in HL.

resultsDNVs were detected in 10% (24/238) of trios for whom segregation analysis was performed. Overall, DNVs were causative in at least ∼1% of probands for whom a genetic diagnosis was resolved, with marked variability based on inheritance mode and phenotype. DNVs of MITF were most common (21% of DNVs), followed by GATA3 (13%), STRC (13%), and ACTG1 (8%). Review of reported DNVs revealed gene-specific variability in contribution of DNV to the mutational spectrum of HL-associated genes.

conclusionDNVs are a relatively common cause of genetic HL and must be considered in all cases of sporadic HL.
