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

purposeTo analyse the meiotic segregation modes of chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) of reciprocal translocation in biopsied blastocysts from preimplantation genetic testing and to investigate whether any features of reciprocal translocation, such as carrier gender or the presence of acrocentric chromosomes or terminal breakpoints, affect meiotic segregation modes.

methodsComprehensive chromosomal screening was performed by next generation sequencing (NGS) on 378 biopsied blastocysts from 102 PGD cycles of 89 reciprocal translocation carriers. The segregation modes of a quadrivalent in 378 blastocysts were analysed according to the carrier's gender, chromosome type and the location of chromosome breakpoints.

resultsThe results showed that 122 out of 378 blastocysts (32.3%) were normal or balanced, 209 (55.3%) were translocated chromosomal abnormalities, and 47 (12.4%) were abnormalities of non-translocated chromosomes. The proportion of translocated chromosomal abnormalities in translocations without acrocentric chromosomes was significantly higher than that in blastocysts from carriers with acrocentric chromosomes (14.8% versus 5.9%,

conclusionsThis study indicates that the segregation modes in blastocysts were affected by the presence of acrocentric chromosomes and terminal breakpoints, but not by the carrier's sex. Our data may be useful for predicting the segregation pattern of a reciprocal translocation and could support genetic counselling for balanced translocation carriers for PGT cycles using blastocyst biopsy.
