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

Since the recent publication of the first feline variant of the PAX3 (Paired Box 3) gene associated with blue eyes and minimal white spotting (DBE, Dominant Blue Eyes), three further variants of PAX3 have been reported in felines. However, these four variants do not account for all the different feline lines that exhibit DBE. Whole-genome sequencing using short-read and long-read technologies identified a large complex structural variant involving two deletions and an inversion in a purebred line of British shorthair and longhair cats. All 39 British cats with a BDE phenotype were heterozygous for the variant, that was absent in 47 non-DBE cats and 16 DBE cats from other breeding lines. The purebred British shorthair founder female named Nadeya was also heterozygous for the variant, and the segregation of the variant is consistent with dominant inheritance. We named this NC_058375.1:g.[205097674_207411974del;207411975_211290497inv;211290498_211387174del] variant the DBE
