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

purposeMultiple morphological abnormalities of the sperm flagella (MMAF) are important causes of male infertility. Mutations in DNAH1 are the main causative factors proven so far. We aim to determine the mutational landscape of DNAH1 in Chinese patients with MMAF.

methodsForty-one Chinese patients with MMAF were enrolled and underwent a 10-gene next-generation sequencing panel screening.

resultsOnly the DNAH1 gene was found to have mutations in 12 of these unrelated individuals (29%). Combining published data from two other cohorts of Chinese men with MMAF, we suggest that p.P3909fs*33, p.R868X, p.Q1518X, p.E3284K, and p.R4096L are hotspot mutations. A polymorphism-rs12163565 (G>A)- showed linkage to p.P3909fs*33, suggesting that this involved a founder effect. Four of the 12 patients with DNAH1 mutations were able to use intracytoplasmic sperm injection with their partners and all were successful in obtaining embryos.

conclusionsHotspot mutations were identified for Chinese patients with MMAF. MMAF sub-phenotypes might be associated with different combinations of DNAH1 mutations.
