Association between polymorphic markers human leucocyte antigen-G and tumour necrosis factor alpha and susceptibility to recurrent miscarriages among Bulgarian women.
Article in Turkish journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo analyze the role of 14 base pair (bp) insertion (ins)/deletion (del) and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) G/A polymorphisms as risk factors for spontaneous miscarriage in patients with two or more unsuccessful pregnancies and a group of control women with at least two normal live births. MATERIALS AND
methodsTo investigate the role of these mutations, 50 patients with two or more idiopathic recurrent miscarriages and 50 normal fertile women were tested for the presence of human leucocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) 14 bp ins/del and TNF-α -308 G/A variants. The frequencies of the studied polymorphisms were compared between the two groups.
resultsIndividuals with a history of miscarriages had a significantly higher prevalence of 14 bp insertion alleles compared with control patients (p=0.04). There was also a two times higher relative risk for miscarriage among carriers of this variant. No statistical difference in allele frequencies of the TNF-α -308 G/A polymorphism was established between controls and study patients (p=0.78).
conclusionThe 14 bp ins HLA-G variant could be associated with a higher risk for unsuccessful pregnancy according to the results from the study. There is no association between the studied TNF-α -308 GA polymorphism and rate of spontaneous abortions.
