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

In 1997, it was discovered that maternal plasma contains Cell-Free Fetal DNA (cffDNA). cffDNA has been investigated as a source of DNA for non-invasive prenatal testing for fetal pathologies, as well as for non-invasive paternity testing. While the advent of Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) led to the routine use of Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening (NIPT or NIPS), few data are available regarding the reliability and reproducibility of Non-Invasive Prenatal Paternity Testing (NIPPT or NIPAT). Here, we present a non-invasive prenatal paternity test (NIPAT) analyzing 861 Single Nucleotide Variants (SNV) from cffDNA through NGS technology. The test, validated on more than 900 meiosis samples, generated log(CPI)(Combined Paternity Index) values for designated fathers ranging from +34 to +85, whereas log(CPI) values calculated for unrelated individuals were below -150. This study suggests that NIPAT can be used with high accuracy in real cases.
