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

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent respiratory infections, nasosinusitis, tympanitis, and/or male infertility, all of which can severely impair the patient's quality of life. Multiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) is one type of severe teratozoospermia and results from a variety of flagellar defects. In this study, we conducted whole-exome sequencing to identify and evaluate the genetic lesions in two patients with potential PCD and MMAF. Biallelic mutations in exon 10, c.983G>A; p.(Gly328Asp), and exon 29, c.3532G>A; p.(Asp1178Asn), of the CFAP74 (NM_001304360) gene were identified in patient 1 (P1), and biallelic mutations in exon 7, c.652C>T; p.(Arg218Trp), and exon 35, c. 4331G>C; p.(Ser1444Thr), of the same gene were identified in patient 2 (P2). Bioinformatic analysis suggested that these variants may be disease causing. Immunofluorescence confirmed that CFAP74 was absent in these patients' sperm samples. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was carried out for P1, and his wife became pregnant after embryo transfer and gave birth to a healthy baby. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to identify the importance of CFAP74 in potential PCD and MMAF, contributing to the genetic diagnosis of these disorders and helping to predict pregnancy outcomes relevant in in vitro fertilization.
