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

backgroundQuantitative fluorescent polymerase chain reaction (QF-PCR) is a rapid prenatal diagnostic method for abnormalities on chromosomes 21, 18, and 13 and sex chromosomal aneuploidy. However, the value of QF-PCR in diagnosing chromosomal structural abnormalities is limited. In this article, we report a confusing QF-PCR finding in a pregnant woman who underwent amniocentesis. CASE SUMMARY: The short tandem repeat marker AMXY (Xp22.2/Yp11.2) located on the sex chromosome exhibited a trisomic biallelic pattern, indicating that the karyotype of the fetus might be 47,XYY. Chromosome analysis performed on cultured amniocytes showed a normal male karyotype of the fetus. Copy number variation sequencing confirmed a 500 kb duplication at Yp11.2-Yp11.2 (chrY:6610001_ 7110000) and a 250 kb duplication at Yp11.2-Yp11.2 (chrY:7110001_7360000).

conclusionIn conclusion, the comprehensive application of different methods could achieve a higher detection rate and accuracy for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal disorders through chromosomal testing.
