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

backgroundBalanced complex translocations (BCTs) are rare events, they may result in reproductive failures: spontaneous abortions, missed abortions, stillbirths, congenital malformations in children, and male infertility. BCTs belong to the group of complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) - up to date about 260 cases were described.

resultsThe described patient and her husband were referred to genetic counseling clinic because of four reproductive failures. GTG-banded chromosome analysis revealed presence of apparently balanced complex translocation t(2;5;13), which was verified and confirmed by molecular cytogenetics with single copy probes. This complex aberration was most likely responsible for reproductive failures in our patient. Since no high resolution molecular karyotyping (microarrays) was used, this rearrangement can only be considered to be balanced at cytogenetic level. DISCUSSION: Due to small number of reported cases of CCRs/BCTs and individual as well as unique character of such rearrangements, genetic counseling for CCRs carriers is complex and requires detailed pedigree analysis, as well as extended clinical and genetic testing.
