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

Targeted gene panel sequencing is used to limit the search for causative genetic variants solely to genes with an established association with the phenotype. The design of gene panels is challenging due to the lack of consensus regarding phenotypic associations for some genes, which results in high variation in gene composition for the same panel offered by different laboratories. We developed PANGEN, a platform that provides a centralized resource for gene panel information, with the ability to compare and generate new intelligent diagnostic panels. Gene-phenotype associations were collected from 12 public and commercial sources (Blueprint, Cegat, Centogene, ClinGen, Fulgent, GeneDx, Health in Code, Human Phenotype Ontology, Invitae, PanelApp, Prevention genetics, and Pronto diagnostics). Gene-phenotype associations are categorized into tiers according to categories derived from the original source panel. Pairwise panel similarity was calculated by dividing the number of common genes by the total number of genes in both panels. Regions with extreme guanine-cytosine (GC) content were collected from the Genome in a Bottle stratifications dataset, and putative genomic duplications were retrieved from the University of Santa Cruz database. Overall, 1533 panels, 9759 phenotypes, and 6979 genes were collected. The platform provides an interface to (i) explore and compare collected panels, (ii) find similar panels, (iii) identify genes with high GC content or duplication levels, (iv) generate gene panels by combining panels from various sources, and (v) stratify a generated panel into genes with a strong phenotype association ('core') and those with a weaker association ('extended'). The presented platform represents a unique resource for gene panel exploration and comparison that facilitates the generation of tailored diagnostic panels through a public online web server.
