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

Trisomy causes mental retardation, pregnancy loss, IVF failure, uniparental disomy and several other pathologies, and its accurate detection is thus clinically essential. Most trisomies arise at meiosis I and are associated with increasing maternal age and reduction or alteration in recombination patterns. Investigations into the relationship between trisomy and meiotic recombination have used short tandem repeat markers; however, this approach is limited by the resolution with which the position of crossovers can identified. As cytogenetics enters the post-genomic era, recent work has used array comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH) to screen for trisomy of all 24 chromosomes, determining chromosome copy number by dosage analysis. However, aCGH has a fundamental drawback for studying the aetiology of trisomy since neither the parent and phase of origin nor uniparental disomy can be ascertained. The development of SNP microarrays has made it possible to analyse multiple loci for sequence variation, and the proprietary software provided can determine the presence of aneuploidy by algorithms based on fluorescence intensity. To the best of our knowledge, however, such software is not equipped to determine the phase of origin of the error or the position of any chiasmata. In this study, therefore, we present an algorithm to determine the parent of origin, the phase of origin and the location of chiasmata in a series of nine "trisomy triplets" (i.e. samples derived from father, mother and their trisomic foetus). Novel adaptations of well-established principles are applied along with a simple algorithm written in Microsoft Excel for visualisation of the results. Such analysis has a range of applications in preimplantation and prenatal diagnosis.
