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

objectivea fetus with a ring chromosome 20 is presented.

methodsat 16 weeks' gestation, ultrasound examination evidenced no apparent structural malformation. Amniocentesis was performed for maternal anxiety.

resultschromosome analysis identified a ring chromosome 20 and array-CGH demonstrated that the ring including micro-deletion of the short arm in 20p13, that was extended for about 632.2 kb and a micro-deletion of the long arm in 20q13.33 region.

conclusionthis is the first case of a ring chromosome 20 diagnosed prenatally. This reinforces the importance of offering amniocentesis with a-CGH to make more accurate prenatal diagnosis.
