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

Protein coding genes exhibit different degrees of intolerance to loss-of-function variation. The most intolerant genes, whose function is essential for cell or/and organism survival, inform on fundamental biological processes related to cell proliferation and organism development and provide a window on the molecular mechanisms of human disease. Here we present a brief overview of the resources and knowledge gathered around gene essentiality, from cancer cell lines to model organisms to human development. We outline the implications of using different sources of evidence and definitions to determine which genes are essential and highlight how information on the essentiality status of a gene can inform novel disease gene discovery and therapeutic target identification.
