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

Rare or de novo structural variation, primarily in the form of copy number variants, is detected in 5%-10% of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) families. While complex structural variants involving duplications can generally be detected using microarray or short-read genome sequencing (GS), these methods frequently fail to characterize breakpoints at nucleotide resolution, requiring additional molecular methods for validation and fine-mapping. Here, we use Oxford Nanopore Technologies PromethION long-read GS to characterize complex genomic rearrangements (CGRs) involving large duplications that segregate with ASD in five families. In total, we investigated 13 CGR carriers and were able to resolve all breakpoint junctions at nucleotide resolution. While all breakpoints were identified, the precise genomic architecture of one rearrangement remained unresolved with three different potential structures. The findings in two families include potential fusion genes formed through duplication rearrangements, involving
