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

backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) in detecting the origin and structure of small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs) in prenatal and postnatal cases and to clarify sSMC-related genotype-phenotype correlations.

resultsThirty-three cases carrying sSMCs were identified by banding cytogenetics. Of these cases, twenty-nine were first characterized by CMA and only two by FISH. The remaining two cases were excluded for their refusal to accept further examination. The chromosomal origins of twenty-two cases were successfully identified, in which pathogenetic copy number variations (PCNVs) were found in sixteen cases, four cases showed variants of uncertain significance (VOUS), one case showed benign CNVs, and one case showed probable PCNVs. For the nine cases with negative CMA results, only one of them contained centromere heterochromatin likely due to its normal phenotype, whereas reasons for the remaining eight cases were uncertain. We also found that CMA results indicating pathogenic abnormalities further affect the rate of pregnancy termination.

conclusionsThis study showed that CMA combined with cytogenetic analysis is particularly effective in identifying sSMCs. However, in order to establish sSMC-related genotype-phenotype correlations, the inclusion of more sSMC cases will be necessary in future studies.
