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

The purpose of the study was to use exome sequencing (ES) to study the contribution of single-gene disorders to recurrent non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) and retrospectively evaluate the value of genetic diagnosis on prenatal management and pregnancy outcome. From January 2012 to October 2018, a cohort of 28 fetuses with recurrent NIHF was analyzed by trio ES. Fetuses with immune hydrops, non-genetic factors (including infection, etc.), karyotype, or CNV abnormalities were excluded. Variants were interpreted based on ACMG/AMP guidelines. Fetal therapy was performed on seven fetuses. Of the 28 fetuses, 10 (36%) were found to carry causal genetic variants (pathogenic or likely pathogenic) in eight genes (
