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

backgroundCorpus callosum abnormality (CCA) can lead to epilepsy, moderate severe neurologic or mental retardation. The prognosis of CCA is closely related to genetic etiology. However, copy number variations (CNVs) associated with fetal CCA are still limited and need to be further identified. Only a few scattered cases have been reported to diagnose CCA by whole exome sequencing (WES).

methodsKaryotyping analysis, copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq), chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and WES were parallelly performed for prenatal diagnosis of 19 CCA cases.

resultsThe total detection rate of karyotyping analysis, CMA (or CNV-seq) and WES were 15.79% (3/19), 21.05% (4/19) and 40.00% (2/5), respectively. Two cases (case 11 and case 15) were diagnosed as aneuploidy (47, XY, + 13 and 47, XX, + 21) by karyotyping analysis and CNV-seq. Karyotyping analysis revealed an unknown origin fragment (46,XY,add(13)(p11.2)) in case 3, which was further confirmed to originate from p13.3p11.2 of chromosome 17 by CNV-seq. CMA revealed arr1q43q44 (238923617-246964774) × 1(8.04 Mb) in case 8 with a negative result of chromosome karyotype. WES revealed that 2 of 5 cases with negative results of karyotyping and CNV-seq or CMA carried pathogenic genes ALDH7A1 and ARID1B.

conclusionParallel genetic tests showed that CNV-seq and CMA are able to identify additional, clinically significant cytogenetic information of CCA compared to karyotyping; WES significantly improves the detection rate of genetic etiology of CCA. For the patients with a negative results of CNV-seq or CMA, further WES test is recommended.
