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

Background: Short stature is a complex disorder with phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. This study aimed to investigate clinical phenotypes and molecular basis of a cohort of patients with short stature. Methods: Trio whole-exome sequencing (Trio-WES) was performed to explore the genetic aetiology and obtain a molecular diagnosis in twenty Chinese probands with syndromic and isolated short stature. Results: Of the twenty probands, six (6/20, 30%) patients with syndromic short stature obtained a molecular diagnosis. One novel Conclusion: Trio-WES is an important strategy for identifying genetic variants and UPD in patients with syndromic short stature, in which dual genetic variants are existent in some individuals. It is important to differentiate between syndromic and isolated short stature. Genetic testing has a high yield for syndromic patients but low for isolated patients.
