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

Disorders affecting the sperm, oocyte, or embryo may cause a significant fraction of spontaneous miscarriages and cases of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Altered chromosomal integrity of sperm and oocytes, which is highly dependent of the age of the mother, represents a major cause of miscarriage and in turn RPL. Avoiding transfers of abnormal embryos is possible with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies. Chromosomal anomalies may also be caused by structural rearrangements of one or several chromosomes in either parents, a finding encountered in 12% of couples with RPL, including in those who have had one or several healthy babies. More than 40% of these chromosomal rearrangements are identifiable on regular karyotypes. When abnormal findings are made, preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders allows selection of disease-free embryos. Finally, asymmetric inactivation of the X chromosome has been found more commonly in women with RPL, but no specific treatment is currently available.
