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 diffusion of next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based approaches allows for the identification of pathogenic mutations of cardiomyopathies and channelopathies in more than 200 different genes. Since genes considered uncommon for a clinical phenotype are also now included in molecular testing, the detection rate of disease-causing variants has increased. Here, we report the prevalence of genetic variants detected by using a NGS custom panel in a cohort of 133 patients with inherited cardiomyopathies (n = 77) or channelopathies (n = 56). We identified 82 variants, of which 50 (61%) were identified in genes without a strong or definitive evidence of disease association according to the NIH-funded Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen; "uncommon genes"). Among these, 35 (70%) were variants of unknown significance (VUSs), 13 (26%) were pathogenic (P) or likely pathogenic (LP) mutations, and 2 (4%) benign (B) or likely benign (LB) variants according to American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) classifications. These data reinforce the need for the screening of uncommon genes in order to increase the diagnostic sensitivity of the genetic testing of inherited cardiomyopathies and channelopathies by allowing for the identification of mutations in genes that are not usually explored due to a currently poor association with the clinical phenotype.
