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

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for chromosomal rearrangements (CR) is mainly based on fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH). Application of this technique is limited by the number of available fluorochromes, the extensive preclinical work-up and technical and interpretative artefacts. We aimed to develop a universal, off-the-shelf protocol for PGD by combining single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array-derived copy number (CN) determination and genotyping for detection of unbalanced translocations in cleavage-stage embryos. A total of 36 cleavage-stage embryos that were diagnosed as unbalanced by initial PGD FISH analysis were dissociated (n=146) and amplified by multiple displacement amplification (MDA). SNP CNs and genotypes were determined using SNP array. Epstein-Barr Virus-transformed cell lines with known CR were used for optimising the genomic smoothing (GS) length setting to increase signal to noise ratio. SNP CN analysis showed 23 embryos (64%) that were unbalanced in all blastomeres for the chromosomes involved in the translocation, 5 embryos (14%) that were normal or balanced in all blastomeres and 8 embryos (22%) that were mosaic. SNP genotyping, based on analysis of informative SNP loci with opposing homozygous parental genotypes, confirmed partial monosomies associated with inheritance of unbalanced translocation in surplus embryos. We have developed a universal MDA-SNP array technique for chromosome CN analysis in single blastomeres. SNP genotyping could confirm partial monosomies. This combination of techniques showed improved diagnostic specificity compared with FISH and may provide more reliable PGD analysis associated with higher embryo transfer rate.
