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

backgroundThe study is aimed to provide prediction for fertility risk in the setting of assisted reproduction for a woman with complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs).

methodsWe implemented a robust approach, which combined whole-genome low-coverage mate-pair sequencing (WGL-MPS), junction-spanning PCR and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) method to provide accurate chromosome breakpoint junctional sequences in the embryo selection process in the setting of assisted reproduction for a couple with recurrent abortions due to CCRs.

resultWGL-MPS was applied to a female carrying CCRs which consisted of 9 breakpoints and 1 cryptic deletion related to fertility risks. Sequencing data provided crucial information for designing junction-spanning PCR and PGT-A process, which was performed on the 11 embryos cultivated. One embryo was considered qualified for transplanting, which carried the exact same CCRs as the female carrier, whose phenotype was normal. The amniotic fluid was also investigated by WGL-MPS and karyotyping at 19 weeks' gestation, which verified the results that the baby carried the same CCRs. A healthy baby was born at 39 weeks' gestation by vaginal delivery. CONCLUSION(S): Our study illustrates the WGL-MPS approach combining with junction-spanning PCR and PGT-A is a powerful and practical method in the setting of assisted reproduction for couples with recurrent miscarriage due to chromosomal abnormalities, especially CCRs carriers.
