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
The objective of this study was to characterize the relationship between embryonic chromosomal errors in the products of conception (POC) and maternal age, gestational age (GA) of pregnancy loss, and findings on routine recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) workup. This is a retrospective cohort study of women with a history of ≥ 2 pregnancy losses and who underwent cytogenetic testing on the POC of a subsequent pregnancy loss at an academic tertiary RPL referral center. The association between the odds of embryonic chromosomal errors in POC and maternal age, GA of pregnancy loss, as well as RPL work up findings was investigated. A total of 1107 miscarriages were analyzed from 741 women. There was an overall linear relationship between embryonic chromosomal errors and maternal age, with a nearly twofold increase in the odds of chromosomal error with every 5-year increase in maternal age (P < 0.0001). The association between chromosomal errors and GA was also linear (P = 0.0001), with most losses having no chromosomal errors after 13 weeks' gestation. Women with ≥ 1 positive findings on routine RPL diagnostic workup had lower odds of embryonic chromosomal errors compared to those with a normal workup [OR 0.57 (95% CI = 0.41-0.80)]. Notably, the estimated prevalence of chromosomal error remained high (> 60%) in women ≥ 35 years old irrespective of findings on routine evaluation. While embryonic chromosomal errors were associated with advanced maternal age, early GA of loss, and a negative routine RPL evaluation, the prevalence of chromosomal errors remained high in all subpopulations. These findings suggest that primary cytogenetic testing on POCs should be offered at the time of second and subsequent pregnancy losses in all RPL patients.
