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

backgroundTo investigate the detectability of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) after prenatal screening to detect foetal chromosomal abnormalities in pregnant women at high risk, and the number of foetal abnormalities could be missed by NIPT.

methodsFrom January 2009 to March 2018, 3,099 pregnant women at high risk for trisomy 21 and 18 according to the results of prenatal serological screening were enrolled in this study. The women underwent amniocentesis at 18-23 weeks, as well as karyotype testing and/or chromosomal microarray analyses (CMA). We assessed the ability of NIPT to detect chromosomal abnormalities.

resultsIn all, 177 (5.7%, 177/3,099) chromosomal abnormalities were identified. These included 129 (72.9%) abnormal numbers of chromosomes, 6 (3.4%) chromosome structural abnormalities, and 42 (23.7%) other abnormalities, including copy number variation, inversions, and chromosome additions/deletions. Of the 177 (70.0%) chromosomal abnormalities, 124 were detected and 53 were missed by NIPT.

conclusionsNIPT could miss 30.0% of the chromosomal abnormalities detected by amniocentesis and cytogenetic testing. This proportion will likely decrease in the future due to further development of NIPT.
