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

This study explored the clinical application of karyotype analysis combined with BACs-on-Beads (BoBs) technology in prenatal diagnosis. A total of 558 pregnant women who were admitted to Xuzhou Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from July 2015 to June 2017 were enrolled in this study. All the subjects underwent amniocentesis. BoBs assay was performed for subjects in the observation group, and karyotype analysis was performed for subjects in the control group. The main technical indicators of subjects in the two groups were summarized, and cases of chromosome abnormalities were further evaluated. Clinical follow-up of their pregnancy and neonatal birth was undertaken. Finally, the chromosomal manifestations of these patients were compared with those of normal male and normal female, as well as common chromosomal abnormalities. All 558 pregnant women underwent amniocentesis again. Karyotype analysis combined with BoBs assay of amniotic fluid was performed. Cases of chromosomal abnormalities detected were: 75 cases of trisomy 21, 20 cases of trisomy 18, 1 case of trisomy 13, 27 cases of sex chromosomal abnormalities, 12 cases of balanced chromosome translocation, and 2 cases of chromosome microdeletion. The results indicated that karyotype analysis combined with BoBs technology for prenatal diagnosis was easy to perform, and provided quick results with high accuracy. The two testing methods were complementary to each other, which significantly improved the diagnostic rate of chromosomal abnormalities thus reducing birth defects and guiding continued pregnancy of high-risk pregnant women.
