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

In the prenatal period, the copy number aberrations of chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y account for over 80% of the clinically significant chromosome abnormalities. Classical cytogenetic analysis is the gold standard in invasive prenatal diagnostics but the long test waiting time affects its clinical utility. Several molecular rapid tests have been developed and employed in clinical practice, however all have substantial drawbacks. The aim of the study was to design and evaluate an optimized tool for rapid molecular detection of fetal aneuploidies. We established a novel single-day method using a chip-based platform, the QuantStudio 3D Digital PCR system. In order to assess the clinical usefulness of our screening test, we analyzed 133 prenatal samples. The difference in distributions of euploid and aneuploid samples identified the ploidy of each of the target chromosomes with high precision. The distribution of the chromosome ratio for euploid and aneuploid samples showed a statistically significant result (
