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

backgroundIdentifying a potential single monogenetic disorder in healthy couples is costly due to the Assisted Reproduction facilities' current methodology for screening, which focuses on the detecting multiple genetic disorders at once. Here, we report the successful application of a low-cost and fast preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic/single gene defects (PGT-M) approach for detecting propionic acidemia (PA) in embryos obtained from a confirmed heterozygous propionyl-CoA carboxylase alpha subunit ( CASE SUMMARY: A fertile 32-years old Mexican couple with denied consanguinity sought antenatal genetic counseling. They were suspected obligate PA carriers due to a previous deceased PA male newborn with an unknown

conclusionWe show that using PGT-M with Whole Genome Amplification templates, coupled with IVF, can reduce the transmission of a pathogenic variant of the
