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

objectiveTo examine whether pathogenic copy number changes (CNCs) can be identified in deoxyribonucleic acid from females with different classes of müllerian anomalies.

designWe conducted array-based copy number variant (CNV) analysis using an oligonucleotide array from deoxyribonucleic acid in 12 adolescent females with various müllerian anomalies.

settingUniversity-affiliated tertiary care institution. PATIENT(S): Twenty adolescent females with clinically confirmed müllerian anomalies. INTERVENTION(S): Array-based CNV analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Copy number changes and/or regions with absence of heterozygosity. RESULT(S): A total of 192 CNVs identified in these samples were previously annotated as polymorphic. Three CNCs that were identified in regions with minimal to no overlap with annotated polymorphisms failed significance criteria with detailed inspection. One subject harbored a 5.1-Mb region of absence of heterozygosity at Xq23 that is of unknown significance. CONCLUSION(S): We did not identify pathogenic CNCs in this small pilot cohort of patients with various müllerian anomalies, but larger studies will be needed to further investigate whether CNCs are associated with all classes of müllerian anomalies.
