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

Double pathogenic mutations occurring in an individual are considered a rare event. The introduction of a multiple-gene panel at Hong Kong Hereditary Breast Cancer Family Registry has allowed the identification of pathogenic variants in multiple genes, providing more information on clinical management and surveillance to the proband and their family members. Breast cancer patients who are double heterozygous (DH) for different hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBCO)-related genes were identified from a cohort of 3649 Chinese patients. Nine patients (0.25%) were observed to have germline DH mutations in
