Somatic variation as an incidental finding in the pediatric next-generation sequencing era.

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.
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 methodologic approach used in next-generation sequencing (NGS) affords a high depth of coverage in genomic analysis. Inherent in the nature of genomic testing, there exists potential for identifying genomic findings that are incidental or secondary to the indication for clinical testing, with the frequency dependent on the breadth of analysis and the tissue sample under study. The interpretation and management of clinically meaningful incidental genomic findings is a pressing issue particularly in the pediatric population. Our study describes a 16-mo-old male who presented with profound global delays, brain abnormality, progressive microcephaly, and growth deficiency, as well as metopic craniosynostosis. Clinical exome sequencing (ES) trio analysis revealed the presence of two variants in the proband. The first was a de novo variant in the
