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

This perspective focuses on advances in genome technology over the last 25 years and their impact on germline variant discovery within the field of human genetics. The field has witnessed tremendous technological advances from microarrays to short-read sequencing and now long-read sequencing. Each technology has provided genome-wide access to different classes of human genetic variation. We are now on the verge of comprehensive variant detection of all forms of variation for the first time with a single assay. We predict that this transition will further transform our understanding of human health and biology and, more importantly, provide novel insights into the dynamic mutational processes shaping our genomes.
