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

Chromosomal structural-variant (CSV)-associated conditions, or genomic disorders (GDs), remain a diagnostic challenge. Our cohort included 26 individuals with severe unselected phenotypes associated with simple CSVs, as well as two clinically unaffected individuals. Long-insert short-read (LI-SR) and short-insert whole-genome sequencing (SI-WGS) were applied to capture the full spectrum of structural and small sequence variants, complemented by whole-blood transcriptome profiling in 12 individuals. Genome-wide, pathway-stratified, and candidate gene-based phenotype-overlap analyses, together with pathway enrichment analysis, were performed to define the spectrum of pathogenic variants and underlying molecular mechanisms, thereby enabling comprehensive phenotype-genotype correlations and to assess the diagnostic yield and suitability of the applied WGS technologies within a genome-first personalized genomic-medicine (PGM) framework. Among disease-causing genes, eight were affected by gene disruption or position effects leading to autosomal dominant (AD) neurodevelopmental GDs, six were identified in individuals with benign simple CSVs with AD conditions caused by small sequence variants, and one case was attributed to a digenic combination of distinct variant types. Candidate disease-associated genes included FLT1 (RASopathies), SSBP3 (chromatinopathies), the ARL14EP-DT/FSHB locus, and position-effect-affected genes ZC4H2 and EDA2R, supported by phenotypic, transcriptomic, and pathway enrichment data. This integrative PGM approach-combining WGS, transcriptomic profiling providing orthogonal functional evidence, and detailed phenotyping-improves diagnostic yield, shortens the diagnostic odyssey, facilitates functional genome annotation, and enables the identification of previously unreported disease associations. These findings support SI-WGS as a first-tier diagnostic strategy for SV-associated conditions and highlight its potential utility in prenatal diagnosis and personalized medicine.
