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

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital anomaly and a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Despite extensive exploration of the monogenic causes of CHD over the last decades, ∼55% of cases still lack a molecular diagnosis. Investigating digenic interactions, the simplest form of oligogenic interactions, using high-throughput sequencing data can elucidate additional genetic factors contributing to the disease. Here, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of digenic interactions in CHD by utilizing a large CHD trio exome sequencing cohort, comprising 3,910 CHD and 3,644 control trios. We extracted pairs of presumably deleterious rare variants observed in CHD-affected and unaffected children but not in a single parent. Burden testing of gene pairs derived from these variant pairs revealed 29 nominally significant gene pairs. These gene pairs showed a significant enrichment for known CHD genes (p < 1.0 × 10
