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

backgroundFetal akinesia refers to a broad spectrum of disorders with reduced or absent fetal movements. There is no established approach for prenatal diagnosis of the cause of fetal akinesia. Chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome is the most common subtelomeric terminal deletion syndrome, recognized postnatally from typical craniofacial features. However, the influence of chromosome 1p36 deletion on fetal movements remains unknown. CASE REPORT: A 32-week-old fetus with akinesia showed multiple abnormalities, including fetal growth restriction, congenital cardiac defects, and ventriculomegaly. G-banding analysis using cultured amniocytes revealed 46,XY,22pstk+. Postnatal whole exome sequencing and subsequent chromosomal microarray identified a 3 Mb deletion of chromosomal region 1p36.33-p36.32. These results of molecular cytogenetic analyses were consistent with the fetal sonographic findings.

conclusionUsing the exome-first approach, we identified a case with fetal akinesia associated with chromosome 1p36 deletion. Chromosome 1p36 deletion syndrome may be considered for differential diagnosis in cases of fetal akinesia with multiple abnormalities.
