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

objectiveCopy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) technique was used to analyze the genetic etiology of fetuses with increased nuchal translucency (NT).

methodsA total of 139 women with gestational 11-14 weeks whose fetuses were detected with increased NT (NT ≥ 2.5 mm) in our hospital from July 2016 to December 2018 were selected. Fetal specimens were performed for karyotyping analysis and CNV sequencing.

resultsAccording to the nuchal translucency thickness, 2.5-3.4, 3.5-4.4, 4.5-5.4, and more than 5.5 mm, the rates of chromosomal abnormalities were 22.8% (13/57), 30.8% (12/39), 42.1% (8/19), and 62.5% (15/24), respectively. There was significant difference among the incidences of chromosomal abnormalities in four groups (χ

conclusionCNV-seq combined karyotype analysis should be performed simultaneously in fetuses with increased NT, providing a basis for genetic counseling, which is of great significance for prenatal diagnosis.
