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

Quantitative Fluorescent - Polymerase Chain Reaction (QF-PCR) is a rapid prenatal diagnosis test for 21, 18, 13 and sex chromosomal aneuploidy detection. However, it could not detect partial trisomy or partial monosomy of those chromosomes. Here, we report a 19-month-old Vietnamese female with a 9.9 Mb pure deletion of chromosome 18 at 18p11.32-11.22 confirmed by next generation sequencing. The patient was short statured with facial dysmorphic features as well as motor skill and speech delays. First trimester screening showed high risk of trisomy 21 with only increased nuchal translucency (NT 3.9 mm) by ultrasound as an indication. Prenatal diagnosis by QF-PCR from amniotic DNA revealed normal disomy. Noticeably, two short tandem repeat (STR) markers D18S391 and D18S976 located on 18p exhibited uninformative patterns (one peak). Thus, our case suggested that the combination of both D18S391 and D18S976 markers with uninformative patterns in QF-PCR for prenatal diagnosis and increased NT in the first trimester ultrasound may be a significant indication of 18p monosomy.
