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

backgroundFoetal RHD genotyping can be predicted by real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using cell-free foetal DNA extracted from maternal plasma. The object of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy and feasibility of non-invasive RHD foetal genotyping, using a commercial multiple-exon assay, as a guide to appropriate administration of targeted antenatal immunoprophylaxis. MATERIAL AND

methodsCell-free foetal DNA was extracted from plasma of RhD-negative women between 11-30 weeks of pregnancy. The foetal RHD genotype was determined non-invasively by qPCR amplification of exons 5, 7 and 10 of the RHD gene using the Free DNA Fetal Kit

resultsRHD foetal genotyping was performed on 367 plasma samples (24-28 DISCUSSION: This study demonstrates that foetal RHD detection on maternal plasma using a commercial multiple-exon assay is a reliable and accurate tool to predict foetal RhD phenotype. It can be a safe guide for the appropriate administration of targeted prenatal immunoprophylaxis.
