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

backgroundRecurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a multifactorial disorder which affects up to 5% of couples around the world. Several factors are considered to be involved in RPL; but, the etiology remains unexplained in 35-60% of cases. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of risk factors associated with RPL in a group of our clinic clients, and their pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) outcome. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe designed a retrospective descriptive study among, 602 Iranian couples referred to the Royan Reproductive Clinic (Tehran-Iran) from 2006 to 2018. Their karyotyping test and PGS outcomes were analyzed. PGS had been applied by array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) on embryos from these patients. Also, karyotyping test had been performed using standard cytogenetic techniques.

resultsG-banding analysis revealed a frequency of 15.61% chromosomal abnormalities in RPL couples. Also, the reciprocal translocations were more frequent (33/1204 cases) compared to the other structural abnormalities. Pregnancy rate per embryo transferred were 50% with array-CGH approach.

conclusionOur findings could confirm a positive correlation between chromosomal abnormalities and RPL rate. Applying PGS for the RPL couples, leads to improvement of pregnancy success rate.
