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

Distinctive facial phenotypes serve as crucial diagnostic markers for many rare genetic diseases. Although AI-driven image recognition achieves high diagnostic accuracy, it often fails to explain its predictions. In this study, we present the Facial phenotype-Gene-Disease Dataset (FGDD), an explainable dataset collected from 509 research publications. It contains 1,147 data records encompassing 197 disease-causing genes, 437 facial phenotypes, and 211 disease entities, with 689 records having disease labels. Each data record represents a patient group and includes demographic information, variation information, and phenotype information. Baseline and explainability validations conducted on FGDD confirmed the dataset's effectiveness. FGDD supports the training of diagnostic models for rare genetic diseases while delivering explainable results, and provides a foundation for exploring intricate connections between genes, diseases, and facial phenotypes.
