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

purposeChromosomal abnormalities are a major cause of spontaneous abortion, and conventional G-banded karyotyping (G-banding) is mainly utilized for chromosomal analysis. Recently, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has been introduced for chromosomal analysis. Here, we aimed to investigate the applicability and utility of NGS-based chromosomal analysis of products of conception (POC) on chorionic villus samples from spontaneous abortion.

methodsThe results of chromosomal analysis of 7 chorionic villus samples from spontaneous abortion were compared between conventional G-banding and NGS-based chromosomal copy number analysis. Age dependency and frequency of each chromosomal aneuploidy were evaluated for 279 cases analyzed by NGS.

resultsExcluding two cases (culture failure and maternal cell contamination), the results were consistent between G-banding and NGS. For cases analyzed by NGS, the rate of chromosomal abnormality increased in a maternal age-dependent manner. The frequency of each chromosomal aneuploidy detected by NGS was almost the same as that previously reported. Finally, NGS analysis was possible for difficult cases by G-banding analysis, such as culture failure, maternal cell contamination, long-term storage cases, and low cell number.

conclusionsChromosome analysis using NGS not only obtains comparable results to conventional G-banding, but also can analyze POC more accurately and efficiently.
