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

objectiveGREB1L has been linked prenatally to Potter's sequence, as well as less severe anomalies of the kidney, uterus, inner ear, and heart. The full phenotypic spectrum is unknown. The purpose of this study was to characterize known and novel pre- and postnatal phenotypes associated with GREB1L.

methodsWe solicited cases from the Fetal Sequencing Consortium, screened a population-based genomic database, and conducted a comprehensive literature search to identify disease cases associated with GREB1L. We present a detailed phenotypic spectrum and molecular changes.

resultsOne hundred twenty-seven individuals with 51 unique pathogenic or likely pathogenic GREB1L variants were identified. 24 (47%) variants were associated with isolated kidney anomalies, 19 (37%) with anomalies of multiple systems, including one case of hypoplastic left heart syndrome, five (10%) with isolated sensorineural hearing loss, two (4%) with isolated uterine agenesis; and one (2%) with isolated tetralogy of Fallot.

conclusionGREB1L may cause complex congenital heart disease (CHD) in humans. Clinicians should consider GREB1L testing in the setting of CHD, and cardiac screening in the setting of GREB1L variants.
