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

backgroundNoninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) for fetal antigens is a common standard for targeted immune prophylaxis in RhD-mediated hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn, and is most frequently done by quantitative PCR (qPCR). A similar approach is considered for other blood group and human platelet alloantigens (HPA). Because of a higher sensitivity compared to qPCR for rare molecule detection, we established and validated digital PCR (dPCR) assays for the detection of

methodsValidation was performed on dilution series of mixed plasma samples from volunteer donors with known genotypes. After preamplification of the target loci, two-color (FAM and VIC) TaqMan

resultsThe

conclusionAnalysis of cfDNA from maternal plasma using dPCR is suitable for the detection of fetal alleles. Because of the high sensitivity of the assays, the NIPT protocol for RhD, KEL1, and HPA can also be applied to earlier stages of pregnancy.
