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

Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as the spontaneous loss of two or more pregnancies before reaching viability. Diagnosis for couples with RPL usually involves only the female partner. However, it is seen that male partners contribute equally to the occurrence of spontaneous abortions as the Y chromosome harbors several genes that control spermatogenesis and the quality of sperms. Three non-overlapping regions (AZFa, AZFb, AZFc) in the distal half of Y chromosome have been reported to be associated with spermatogenesis in males with normal karyotype. Microdeletions in these three regions have been identified in many male partners with repeated abortions. The STS regions of the Y chromosome are prone to self-recombination, making it susceptible to deletions, thereby leading to poor sperm quality and fetal implantation failure. The present study aimed to identify the frequency and type of microdeletions among male partners of RPL women. Analysis revealed nearly 76% of cases revealed microdeletions, whereas no deletions were observed among controls in Y chromosome, suggesting a strong link between RPL and microdeletion in the AZF regions of the Y chromosome in the male partner.
