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

backgroundRecurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a common pregnancy complication that brings great pain to pregnant women and their families. Genetic factors are an important cause reason of RPL. However, clinical research on monogenic diseases with recurrent miscarriage is insufficient. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we reported a Chinese family with RPL and genetic analysis of the abortion and parents. A paternally inherited heterozygous missense variant c.1415T > G (p.V472G) and a maternally inherited heterozygous nonsense variant c.2314del (p.M772*) in TMEM67 gene were identified by trio-exome sequencing. c.2314del (p.M772*) generated a premature stop codon and truncated protein, was classified as "pathogenic". c.1415T > G (p.V472G) located in extra-cellular region, was classified as "likely pathogenic". Biallelic variants in TMEM67 gene cause lethal Meckel syndrome 3, consistent with the proband's prenatal phenotype.

conclusionThe current study of the Chinese family expands the pathogenic variant spectrum of TMEM67 and emphasizes the necessity of exome sequencing in RPL condition.
