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

Objective: Atrial septal defect (ASD) is a common congenital heart defect with incompletely understood genetic underpinnings, particularly in specific ethnic groups. This study aimed to identify novel genetic variants related to ASD within the Tibetan population using whole exome sequencing (WES). Methods: Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples of 17 Tibetan ASD patients. WES was performed using the Illumina HiSeq platform. After rigorous filtering, detection, and annotation of single nucleotide variations (SNVs) and insertion-deletions (InDels), potentially pathogenic variants were prioritized. Functional impact predictions were conducted using SIFT, PolyPhen V2, MutationTaster, and CADD databases to identify variants likely contributing to ASD etiology. Results: We identified nine high-confidence candidate variants in Tibetan ASD patients, including rs145116532 ( Conclusion: This first WES-based study of Tibetan ASD patients reveals population-specific genetic determinants. The nine novel candidate variants, particularly in
