Genetic screening of Chinese patients with hydatidiform mole by whole-exome sequencing and comprehensive analysis.
Article in Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
purposeWe aim to explore if there are any other candidate genetic variants in patients with a history of at least one hydatidiform mole (HM) besides the well-known variants in NLRP7 and KHDC3L.
methodsThe diagnosis of HM type was based on histopathology, and available HM tissues were collected for short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping to verify the diagnosis. DNA extracted from blood samples or decidual tissues of the 78 patients was subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES).
resultsWe identified five novel variants in NLRP7, two novel variants in KHDC3L, and a chromosome abnormality covering the KHDC3L locus among patients with HM. We found that patients with HM who carried heterozygous variants in KHDC3L had a chance of normal pregnancy. We also detected four novel genetic variants in candidate genes that may be associated with HM.
conclusionOur study enriched the spectrum of variants in NLRP7 and KHDC3L in Chinese HM patients and provided a new outlook on the effects of heterozygous variants in KHDC3L. The novel candidate genetic variants associated with HMs reported in this study will also contribute to further research on HMs.
