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

Hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a rare congenital disease characterized by a spectrum of craniomaxillofacial malformations, including unilateral hypoplasia of the mandible and surrounding structures. Genetic predisposition for HFM is evident but the causative genes have not been fully understood. Thus, in the present study, we used whole-exome sequencing to screen 52 patients with HFM for rare germline mutations. We revealed 3,341 rare germline mutations in this patient cohort, including those in 13 genes previously shown to be associated with HFM. Among these HFM-related genes,
