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

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a common reproductive problem affecting around 5% of couples worldwide. At present, about half of RPL cases remained unexplained. Previous studies have suggested an important role for genetic determinants in the etiology of RPL. Here, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) analysis on 100 unrelated Han Chinese women with a history of two or more spontaneous abortions. We identified 6736 rare deleterious nonsynonymous variants across all patients. To focus on possible candidate genes, we generated a list of 95 highly relevant genes that were functionally associated with miscarriage according to human and mouse model studies, and found 35 heterozygous variants of 28 RPL-associated genes in 32 patients. Four genes (
