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

backgroundCongenital bilateral absence of vas deferens (CBAVD) is an important disease of male infertility, which affects 1%-2% of infertile population. In addition to common mutations of CFTR, copy number variants (CNVs) have also been implicated as one of the pathogenesis of CBAVD. The present study aimed to investigate the genetic contribution of CFTR CNVs in Chinese Han population with CBAVD.

methodsTwo hundred and sixty-three CBAVD patients were recruited. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples. The Multiplex Ligation-dependent Probe Amplification assay was performed which targets the region of the CFTR gene.

resultsAmong 263 Chinese men affected with CBAVD in this study, 5 (1.90%) patients were detected for copy number variants in the region of CFTR gene (4 of them carried partial deletions and 1 of them carried partial duplication of CFTR gene).

conclusionsThe study showed that the rate of CFTR CNVs in Chinese population with CBAVD were basically consistent with the previous reports. And the study first revealed genetic risk of CNVs of CFTR on a large sample size of CBAVD patients in Chinese Han population, which prompted that it was necessary to detect CNVs of CFTR in Chinese Han people with CBAVD.
