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

In the present study, we retrospectively recruited 340 patients who underwent spontaneous abortions to investigate chromosomal abnormalities of the conception products in the first trimester. We also performed a relevant analysis of clinical factors. Of these patients, 165 had conception products with chromosomal abnormalities, including 135 aneuploidies, 11 triploidies, 10 complex abnormalities, and 9 segmental aneuploidies. The most common abnormal chromosomes were chromosome 16 in the embryo-transfer group and sex chromosomes in the natural-conception group. The most common abnormal chromosomes in all analyzed maternal age groups were sex chromosomes, 16, and 22. The chromosomal abnormality incidence was related to age and number of spontaneous abortions (both p < 0.05), but not to number of pregnancies, deliveries, induced abortions, or methods of conception (all p > 0.05). The rates of abnormality for chromosomes 12, 15, 20, and 22 increased with age, while the rates for chromosomes 6, 7, 13, and X decreased. In all age groups, aneuploidy was by far the most common abnormality; however, the low-incidence distributions of chromosomal abnormalities were entirely different. Overall, chromosomal aneuploidy was the primary cause of pregnancy loss in the first trimester, and low-frequency abnormalities differed across age subgroups. Chromosomal aberrations were found to be related to maternal age and spontaneous abortion, but not all chromosomal abnormalities increased with age.
