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

To evaluate the clinical performance of noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) for fetal sex chromosome aneuploidies (SCAs), pregnant women were recruited in this retrospective observational study. The NIPS test was undertaken using high-throughput gene sequencing. In total,50,301 pregnant women were analysed for demographic characteristics and medical history. Of them, 308 women (0.61%) had high risk for fetal SCAs, including 138 for 45,X, 111 for 47,XXY, 42 for 47,XXX, and 17 for 47,XYY. After the pre-test counselling, 182 participants chose to undergo invasive prenatal diagnosis, confirming 59 positive cases. The combined positive predictive value of NIPS was 32.42% (59/182), 18.39% (16/87), 44.4% (12/27), 39.29% (22/56), and 75% (9/12) for detecting SCAs, 45,X, 47,XXX, 47,XXY, and 47,XYY, respectively. NIPS can be a useful method to detect the fetal SCAs using high-throughput gene sequencing, though accuracy can still be improved, especially for 45,X. Although the value of NIPS compare favorably with those seen in traditional screening approaches for SCAs, it is important to highlight the limitations of NIPS while educating clinicians and patients.
