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

To develop an effective strategy to isolate and use cell‑free fetal DNA (cffDNA) for the combined use of next‑generation sequencing (NGS) for diagnosing choroideremia and non‑invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for Y chromosome determination, a large Chinese family with an X‑linked recessive disease, choroideremia, was recruited. Cell‑free DNA was extracted from maternal plasma, and SRY polymerase chain reaction amplification was performed using NIPT. Sanger sequencing was subsequently used for fetal amniotic fluid DNA verification. A nonsense mutation (c.C799T:p.R267X) of the CHM gene on the X chromosome of the proband (IV:7) and another 5 males with choroideremia were detected, while 3 female carriers with no symptoms were also identified. The fetus (VI:7) was identified as female from the cffDNA, and the same heterozygous nonsense mutation present in her mother was also confirmed. At one and a half years of age, the female baby did not present with any associated symptoms of choroideremia. Therefore, cffDNA was successfully used for the combined use of NGS for diagnosing choroideremia in a large Chinese pedigree, and NIPT for Y chromosome determination. This approach should result in a markedly increased use of prenatal diagnosis and improvement, and more sophisticated clinical management of diseases in China and other developing countries. The establishment of a highly accurate method for prenatal gene diagnosis will allow for more reliable gene diagnosis, improved genetic counseling, and personalized clinical management of our patients.
