Detection of copy number disorders associated with congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract in fetuses via single nucleotide polymorphism arrays.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundWhile congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) constitute one-third of all congenital malformations, the mechanisms underlying their development are poorly understood. Some studies have reported an association between CAKUT and copy number variations (CNVs) in children and adults, but few have focused on chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) findings in fetuses with CAKUT. Therefore, we aimed to perform a CMA on fetuses with CAKUT and normal karyotypes in the presence and absence of other structural anomalies.
methodThe study was conducted in 147 fetuses with CAKUT and normal karyotypes between January 2016 and January 2019 in the Fujian Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis was performed using the Affymetrix CytoScan HD platform.
resultsThe SNP array identified abnormal CNVs in 13 cases (8.8%): Six were pathogenic, and seven were variations of uncertain clinical significance (VOUS). The detection rate of abnormal CNVs in non-isolated CAKUT was higher than that in isolated CAKUT (22.7% vs 6.4%, P = .038). Within the abnormal CNV groups, the highest frequency of CNVs was identified in fetuses with polycystic kidney dysplasia (13.5%), followed by those with renal agenesis (10.5%).
conclusionSNP array is effective for identifying chromosomal abnormalities in CNVs in fetuses with CAKUT and normal karyotypes, and help counseling.
