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

introductionInherited coagulation factor deficiencies (ICFD) result from plasma protein deficiencies, impacting blood coagulation cascade and leading to haemorrhagic diathesis. Advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology have enabled high-throughput methods for molecular ICFD diagnosis. However, detailed descriptions of clinical applications and routine laboratory experiences in this field remain scarce.

aimThis study presents the results from a real-world experience using an NGS-based gene panel for routine molecular diagnosis, applied to more than 500 ICFD patients in Spain.

methodsA custom NGS gene panel targeting 22 ICFD-related genes was validated using 20 patients with known variants. Subsequently, the panel was applied to 515 ICFD patients from 28 Spanish hospitals. Structural variants were detected by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.

resultsAmong the 515 patients analysed, 402 had complete phenotypic data specified in the genetic study form, 83 had incomplete data, and 30 were potential haemophilia carriers. Identification disease-causing variant rates were 69%, 58% and 53%, respectively. Candidate variants were identified in 74% of cases. A total of 460 variants across 18 genes were identified, 302 unique variants, with 37% being novel disease-causing variants.

conclusionThis study represents the largest analysis of ICFD patients conducted in Spain, providing significant insights into the molecular epidemiology of these disorders. It underscores the critical role of NGS in routine clinical practice while addressing challenges faced by genetic laboratories. The findings highlight a growing shift among haematologists towards integrating genetic studies early in diagnostic workflows alongside phenotypic assessments to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of ICFD diagnosis.
