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

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn and fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia are caused by maternal antibodies against fetal alloantigens on red blood cells or platelets that are inherited from the father. After transplacental transport to the fetal circulation, antibodies of the IgG class may cause severe fetal anemia or bleeding complications. The indication for noninvasive fetal blood group genotyping is given if a clinically relevant antibody is detected in a pregnant woman and if the father is heterozygous (or unknown) for the implicated blood group allele. This mini-review will focus on the advantages and current limitations of next-generation sequencing (NGS) for noninvasive diagnosis of fetal blood groups which is, in contrast to fetal aneuploidy screening, proposed only by some research groups. Targeted massively parallel sequencing of short DNA fragments from maternal cell-free plasma samples enables counting of fetal alleles for many single nucleotide polymorphisms in parallel. This information can be utilized for estimation of the fetal fraction of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) as well as detection of the paternal blood group allele in question. Adherence to a cut-off of ≥4% fetal fraction for reporting conclusive results is recommended to avoid false-negative results due to low fetal fraction. For screening purposes of fetal
