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 next-generation sequencing (NGS) in rare disease focuses on genetic analysis of specific regions in genome that are linked to a rare disease. In addition to library preparation, sequencing, and data analysis, targeted NGS includes an additional step of target enrichment of selected genes and regions. It allows for more sensitive and profound sequencing, as it is a fast and cost-effective approach with less data burden and is therefore often a method of choice for identifying rare variants in known genes, especially in diagnostics of rare diseases. Several in silico tools address the pathogenicity predictions of rare variants of unknown significance (VUS) and can therefore facilitate clinical interpretation.
