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

X-linked genetic disorders typically affect females less severely than males owing to the presence of a second X Chromosome not carrying the deleterious variant. However, the phenotypic expression in females is highly variable, which may be explained by an allelic skew in X-Chromosome inactivation. Accurate measurement of X inactivation skew is crucial to understand and predict disease phenotype in carrier females, with prediction especially relevant for degenerative conditions. We propose a novel approach using nanopore sequencing to quantify skewed X inactivation accurately. By phasing sequence variants and methylation patterns, this single assay reveals the disease variant, X inactivation skew, and its directionality and is applicable to all patients and X-linked variants. Enrichment of X Chromosome reads through adaptive sampling enhances cost-efficiency. Our study includes a cohort of 16 X-linked variant carrier females affected by two X-linked inherited retinal diseases: choroideremia and
