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

purposePatients with reciprocal balanced translocations (RBT) have a risk for recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL), affected child, and infertility. Currently, genetic counseling is based on karyotypes found among the products of conception (POC), although factors influencing the success of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in RBT couples are not established.

methodsCytogenetic results from 261 POC and offspring of the parents (113 women and 90 men) with RBT were evaluated. Chromosome segregation modes and number of euploid embryos were assessed in couples undergoing in vitro fertilization.

resultsPatients with translocations involving an acrocentric chromosome have a higher risk of unbalanced gametes caused by a 3:1 segregation. Female RBT patients have a statistically higher risk of aneuploidy due to an interchromosomal effect. The rate of euploid embryos is low due to meiosis I malsegregation of RBT, meiosis II nondisjunction, additional whole chromosome or segmental aneusomies. RBT patients with RPL have a higher rate of miscarriage of euploid fetuses with RBT.

conclusionChromosome-specific factors, female gender, age, and history of RPL are the risk elements influencing pregnancy and in vitro fertilization success in RBT patients. Chromosomal microarray analysis of POC is necessary to provide an accurate and timely diagnosis for patients with adverse reproductive outcomes.
