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

backgroundGenetic disorders are prevalent in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), but genetic evaluations are underutilized and nonstandardized. We sought to quantify a dysmorphology score and develop phenotype-based prediction models for genetic diagnoses in CHD.

methodsWe used a test-negative case-control study of inpatient infants (<1 year) with CHD undergoing standardized genetic evaluations. We quantified a novel dysmorphology score and combined it with other clinical variables used in multivariable logistic regression models to predict genetic diagnoses identified by genetic testing.

resultsOf 1008 patients, 24.1% (243/1008) had genetic diagnoses identified. About half of the cohort were either nondysmorphic or mildly dysmorphic with dysmorphology scores ≤2. There were higher dysmorphology scores according to CHD class (

conclusionsThe dysmorphology score is a novel screen for patients with CHD at high risk of having genetic diagnoses identified by genetic testing, including disorders not easily recognized by clinicians. We used these results to develop predicted probability plots for genetic diagnoses in patients with CHD.
