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

The recessive Fanconi anemia (FA) phenotype is used to classify BRCA1 (FANCS), BRCA2 (FANCD1), and PALB2 (FANCN) variants with respect to dominant hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome. We assessed its utility by examining the phenotypic spectrum observed in individuals with bi-allelic BRCA1, BRCA2, or PALB2 pathogenic variants and exploring the relationship between cancer presentation and allele severity score based on variant molecular features. A data collection instrument comprising 158 Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) terms was used to document clinical features for individuals with FA from published and/or prospectively collected sources (total n = 172, 43 previously unpublished). Distinct FA-related variants (15 BRCA1, 123 BRCA2, and 22 PALB2) were annotated for predicted molecular impact, location, observed splicing or functional impact, and potential in-frame splicing rescue and used to assign different permutations of allele severity scores, which were assessed for correlation with FA presentation features. The association of BRCA1 and BRCA2 allele severity score with the magnitude of breast cancer risk in heterozygotes was evaluated using case-control analysis. Clinical features extended beyond the HPO list, including 84 terms related by hierarchy and 94 additional terms. The BRCA2 genotype severity score was associated with age at cancer diagnosis in individuals with FA (p = 1.8 × 10
