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

purposeTo showcase the successful use of ICSI with PGT-M to overcome Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS)-related reproductive challenges, resulting in the birth of a healthy baby boy. By targeting the maternally inherited CDKN1C pathogenic gene variant, this report highlights the genetic interventions in BWS reproductive risk management.

methodsThis case report describes a 41-year-old woman seeking fertility assistance after a previous pregnancy revealed a fetal anomaly related to BWS. Families with BWS recurrence face challenges, as maternally inherited CDKN1C pathogenic variants contribute to approximately 40% of genetic alterations, with a potential recurrence risk as high as 50%. Genetic analysis identified a pathogenic variant in the CDKN1C gene of the fetus that was maternally inherited. The pregnancy was terminated due to the fetal anomalies. The couple underwent intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) combined with preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A).

resultsTwo embryos from IVF with low-risk PGT-M and euploid status. One transferred via frozen embryo transfer (FET) in February 2023 resulted in the successful birth of a healthy baby boy. This study reports the first successful delivery of a healthy boy after PGT-M for the CDKN1C gene variant c.79_100delinsGTGACC, contributing to the limited literature on successful outcomes for BWS.

conclusionUtilizing PGT-M in combination with IVF can lead to favorable outcomes in managing BWS-associated reproductive challenges, offering insights into potential genetic interventions and successful birth.
