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

backgroundDuplications on the short arm of chromosome X, including the gene CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-year-old female patient born to non-consanguineous Lebanese parents, with a family history of one miscarriage, is included in this study. The patient presents with sex reversal, dysmorphic features, optic atrophy, epilepsy, psychomotor and neurodevelopmental delay. Single nucleotide variants and copy number variants analysis were carried out on the patient through exome sequencing (ES). This showed an increased coverage of a genomic region of around 23.6 Mb on chromosome Xp22.31-p21.2 (g.7137718-30739112) in the patient, suggestive of a large duplication encompassing more than 60 genes, including the

conclusionsThis case highlights the added value of CNV analysis from ES data in the genetic diagnosis of patients. It also underscores the challenges encountered in announcing unsolicited incidental findings to the family.
