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 human 16p11.2 BP4-BP5 region, composed of low-copy repeats, is prone to mediating recurrent copy number variations that increase the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders. Compared with 16p11.2 deletion variants, duplication variants have lower penetrance and higher phenotypic heterogeneity. Due to limited perinatal data, early phenotypes warrant further investigation. We report the case of a neonate with seizures, microcephaly, and neurodevelopmental delay whose parents were phenotypically normal. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a 200.15-kb duplication in 16p11.2 seq[GRCh38]dup(16)(p11.2-p11.2) (chr16:29,963,728-30,168,686) in the proband and his mother, which was confirmed via quantitative polymerase chain reaction. This case highlights the potential link between 16p11.2 duplications and neonatal neurodevelopmental disorders, emphasizing the need for genetic counseling in affected families.
