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

backgroundHemophilia A (HA) is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the F8 gene, resulting in deficient coagulation factor VIII activity. Although intron 22 and intron 1 inversions (Inv22 and Inv1) accounts for approximately 50% of severe HA cases, complex structural rearrangements mediated by intron 22 homologous region (int22h) repeats have rarely reported and poorly characterized.

methodsIn this study, we investigated a Chinese severe HA pedigree with a complex rearrangement of F8 gene by integrating 750 K SNP arrays, long-read sequencing (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, ONT), and optical genome mapping (OGM). This multi-platform strategy enabled comprehensive characterization of the structural variations affecting the F8 gene.

resultsWe identified a complex rearrangement in the proband’s F8 gene, characterized by sequential duplications inserted within intron 22. These include a 7.75 kb direct duplication involving a portion of int22h-1, a 78.78 kb inverted duplication containing partial sequences of int22h-3 and int22h-2, and an 86.56 kb direct duplication spanning a portion of int22h-3 and exons 2–8 of the TMLHE gene. The structural variation in the F8 gene of the proband was inherited from the mother.

conclusionOur findings revealed that the complex rearrangement of F8 is the genetic cause of HA in this pedigree. The combined use of OGM and ONT provides an effective approach for deciphering the characterization of complex structural variants and determining the orientation of inserted segments, although base-precision breakpoint mapping remains challenging in highly homologous regions.
