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

Not all familial ovarian cancer (OC) cases are explained by pathogenic germline variants in known risk genes. A candidate gene approach involving DNA repair pathway genes was applied to identify rare recurring pathogenic variants in familial OC cases not associated with known OC risk genes from a population exhibiting genetic drift. Whole exome sequencing (WES) data of 15 OC cases from 13 families tested negative for pathogenic variants in known OC risk genes were investigated for candidate variants in 468 DNA repair pathway genes. Filtering and prioritization criteria were applied to WES data to select top candidates for further analyses. Candidates were genotyped in ancestry defined study groups of 214 familial and 998 sporadic OC or breast cancer (BC) cases and 1025 population-matched controls and screened for additional carriers in 605 population-matched OC cases. The candidate genes were also analyzed in WES data from 937 familial or sporadic OC cases of diverse ancestries. Top candidate variants in
