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

This study was aimed at assessing the diagnostic utility of whole genome sequence analysis in a well-characterised research cohort of individuals referred with a clinical suspicion of Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) in whom prior genetic testing had not identified a causative variant. Short-read whole genome sequencing was performed on 195 individuals from 105 families, 108 of whom were affected. 100/108 of the affected individuals had prior relevant genetic testing, with no pathogenic variant being identified. The study group comprised 42 trios in which both parental samples were available for testing (42 affected individuals and 126 unaffected parents), 61 singletons (unrelated affected individuals), and two families with more than one affected individual. The results showed that 32 unrelated probands from 105 families (30.5%) had likely causative coding region-disrupting variants. Four loci were identified in > 1 proband:
