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.

Abstract

backgroundThe implementation of molecular karyotyping has resulted in an improved diagnostic yield in the genetic diagnostics of congenital anomalies, detected prenatally or after the termination of pregnancy. However, the systematic epidemiologic ascertainment of copy number variations in the etiology of congenital anomalies has not yet been sufficiently explored.

methodsConsecutive fetuses, altogether 204, with major single or multiple congenital anomalies were ascertained by using the SLOCAT registry for the period from 2011 to 2015. After excluding aneuploidies by using conventional karyotyping or Quantitative Fluorescence-Polymerase Chain Reaction, array comparative genomic hybridization was performed for the detection of copy number variations.

resultsWe identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic copy number variations in 14 fetuses (6.8%); 2.9% in fetuses with isolated, and 3.9% in fetuses with multiple congenital anomalies. Additionally, aneuploidies and major structural chromosomal abnormalities were detected in 40.2%.

conclusionOur systematic approach of ascertaining congenital anomalies resulted in explaining the etiology of congenital anomalies in 47% of fetuses after the termination of pregnancy. By using array comparative genomic hybridization, we found that copy number variations represent an important part in the etiology of multiple, as well as isolated congenital anomalies, which indicates the importance of analyzing copy number variations in the diagnostic approach of fetuses with congenital anomalies after the termination of pregnancy.
