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

backgroundCongenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform nevus and limb defects (CHILD) syndrome is a rare X-linked dominant, lethal male disorder caused by mutations to the NSDHL (NAD(P)H steroid dehydrogenase-like protein) gene. It primarily exhibits strictly unilateral congenital hemidysplasia with ichthyosiform erythroderma and ipsilateral limb defects in female individuals.

methodsA Chinese couple suffering from recurrent spontaneous abortion in male fetuses was enrolled in this study. Chromosomal microarray analysis and whole-exome sequencing were performed for genetic etiological diagnosis.

resultsA 33-year-old pregnant woman with recurrent spontaneous abortion was experiencing her third pregnancy with a male embryo. In this pregnancy, a miscarriage occurred at a gestational age of 10

conclusionIn this study, we detected c.790-6C>T, a novel variant in the NSDHL gene that results in recurrent miscarriage in males. Our study may broaden the scope of research on the NSDHL gene in CHILD syndrome and strengthens the application value of WES for the genetic etiological identification of recurrent miscarriage.
