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

purposeThis study aims to identify genetic causes of female infertility associated with recurrent failure of assisted reproductive technology (ART) characterized by embryonic developmental arrest.

methodsWe recruited infertile patients from two consanguineous families from the Reproductive Medicine Center of Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital. Peripheral blood was collected for genomic DNA extraction. Two affected individuals and their family members were performed with whole-exome sequencing and Sanger validation in order to identify possible causative genes. For further analyzing the effect of splicing mutation on mRNA integrity in vivo, TLE6 cDNA from the peripheral blood lymphocyte of the affected individual was sequenced. In addition, the possible impact of the pathogenic mutation on the structure and function of the protein were also assessed.

resultsTwo novel homozygous mutations in the peptidylarginine deiminase type VI (PADI6) and the transducin-like enhancer of split 6 (TLE6) genes were identified in the two families. One patient carried the frameshift deletion mutation c.831_832del:p.S278Pfs

conclusionsOur findings expand the mutational spectrum of PADI6 and TLE6 associated with embryonic developmental arrest and deepen our understanding of the genetic causes of infertility with recurrent ART failure.
