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

During the past 6 years, 14 cytogenetic studies on human oocytes recovered during in vitro fertilization procedures have been published; they report contradictory results. The present survey has pooled the more than 1500 oocyte chromosome complements examined to date, in order to determine generalized trends in chromosomal abnormalities of female gametes. The overall frequency of abnormalities in mature oocytes is 24.0% with a large majority of aneuploidies (22.8%) over structural aberrations (1.2%), which could be explained by the difficulty in the detection of structural abnormalities in oocyte chromosome sets. An analysis of the distribution of non-disjunction among all chromosomes was also performed. In the A, C, D, and especially in the G groups, there is a significant difference between the observed non-disjunction and the frequencies expected from an equal partitioning of non-disjunction among all chromosomes. These data are discussed with reference to the differences obtained from cytogenetic studies on human sperm and from investigations on spontaneous abortion.
