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

objectiveTo define criteria for determining when preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) results are suggestive of a potential balanced chromosomal rearrangement in the egg or sperm source and warrant karyotyping.

designPerformance evaluation of criteria developed to assess PGT-A results for patterns of imbalances suggestive of a balanced chromosomal rearrangement in the egg or sperm source.

settingA single PGT-A laboratory and multiple in vitro fertilization centers. PATIENTS: Reproductive couples who underwent routine PGT-A testing.

interventionsKaryotyping of reproductive couples for whom patterns of imbalances observed in PGT-A results suggested a balanced chromosomal rearrangement in the egg or sperm source.

main outcome measuresCorrect or incorrect flagging of predicted translocation in either the egg or sperm source based on chromosome analysis.

resultsProposed criteria correctly predicted a balanced reciprocal translocation in 97% of cases (n = 33), a (13;14) Robertsonian translocation in all cases (n = 3), and an inversion in all cases (n = 2). Other criteria evaluated were determined to be ineffective because of relatively low occurrences that met the criteria and/or low predictive value.

conclusionsOur results showed that the proposed criteria were effective for evaluating patterns of imbalances observed in PGT-A results suggestive of a potential chromosomal rearrangement in the egg or sperm source. Our proposed criteria can be employed by clinicians in the in vitro fertilization setting in combination with a patient's reproductive history to identify PGT-A patients who are likely carriers of balanced chromosomal rearrangements.
