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

backgroundTo date, four human bocaviruses (HBoV) have been described. The most closely related viruses (bovine and canine parvoviruses) are associated with miscarriage in their hosts. The objective of this retrospective study was to determine the frequency of HBoV DNA in miscarriage. STUDY

designTissue samples from 172 patients, in which miscarriage occurred, were included and tested with a published qPCR protocol. Positive PCRs were mutually confirmed by sequencing.

results43 patients (25%) were positive for HBoV DNA. Of those, the majority of HBoV-positive samples were tissues from miscarriage (placenta: 6; aborted tissue products of conception: 37 specimens). The samples were not paired; either placental or aborted tissue was available.

conclusionsThe results show that, as long as no animal model is available, the role of HBoV in the occurrence of miscarriage requires additional prospective studies in order to investigate its significance and causal involvements of this pathogen.
