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

Introduction: The genetic factors underlying congenital heart disease and heterotaxy (CHD/HTX) are complex, including copy number variants, loss-of-function mutations, and missense variants, many of which can be detected by high-throughput sequencing. The screening for chromosomal structural variations (SVs) is another important strategy to understand the genetic etiology of CHD/HTX. Methods: We employed optical genome mapping (OGM), an innovative technique capable of capturing SVs often missed by traditional cytogenetic methods, to screen for SVs in 12 patients with complex CHD/HTX. Several patients had previously undergone chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) or whole exome sequencing (WES), but their genetic diagnoses remained inconclusive. Results: By integrating data from CMA or WES, we analyzed potentially pathogenic SVs in patients with CHD/HTX. In total, we identified 825 high-confidence SVs, including 609 SVs (73.7%) located in intergenic regions or containing introns, pseudogenes, or RNA genes, while 217 (26.3%) overlapped the coding regions of genes. Analyzed through AnnotSV, DECIPHER and OMIM databases, 7 SVs of interest were identified, including: one previously reported pathogenic SV, three SVs overlapping established CHD/HTX associated genes ( Conclusion: Our findings highlight the utility of OGM in analyzing the genetic etiology of CHD/HTX and contribute to broadening of the complex genetic landscape underlying these diseases.
