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

backgroundGenetic disorders often manifest as abnormal fetal or childhood development. Copy number variations (CNVs) represent a significant genetic mechanism underlying such disorders. Despite their importance, the effectiveness of clinical exome sequencing (CES) in detecting CNVs, particularly small ones, remains incompletely understood. We aimed to evaluate the detection of both large and small CNVs using CES in a substantial clinical cohort, including parent-offspring trios and proband only analysis.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of CES data from 2428 families, collected from 2018 to 2021. Detected CNV were categorized as large or small, and various validation techniques including chromosome microarray (CMA), Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay (MLPA), and/or PCR-based methods, were employed for cross-validation.

resultsOur CNV discovery pipeline identified 171 CNV events in 154 cases, resulting in an overall detection rate of 6.3%. Validation was performed on 113 CNVs from 103 cases to assess CES reliability. The overall concordance rate between CES and other validation methods was 88.49% (100/113). Specifically, CES demonstrated complete consistency in detecting large CNV. However, for small CNVs, consistency rates were 81.08% (30/37) for deletions and 73.91% (17/23) for duplications.

conclusionCES demonstrated high sensitivity and reliability in CNV detection. It emerges as an economical and dependable option for the clinical CNV detection in cases of developmental abnormalities, especially fetal structural abnormalities.
