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

objectiveThe present study outlines three cases of a Robertsonian translocation and the consequences for the initiation of pregnancy by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Three case histories are presented documenting structural chromosome abnormalities in infertile males. MATERIALS AND

methodsSemen analysis was performed according to the World Health Organization guidelines. Chromosome analysis was performed using G-banding. Y chromosome microdeletions were detected by multiplex polymerase chain reaction assays.

resultsCytogenetic analysis revealed Robertsonian translocation 45,XY,der(14;21)(q10;q10) in a male with severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (SOAT) after three subsequent ICSI treatments were unsuccessful. The second case involved a Robertsonian translocation 45,XY,der(13,14)(q10;q10) with SOAT detected in a male after one pregnancy loss. Third case involved a Robertsonian translocation 45,XY,der(13,14)(q10;q10) with SOAT.

conclusionThis case series emphasize the necessity of cytogenetic analysis of couples with primary infertility and recurrent miscarriages before any assisted reproductive technology is performed. For couples in whom one or more partners have a translocation, prenatal genetic diagnosis/preimplantation genetic diagnosis is recommended.
