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

backgroundUnexplained recurrent miscarriage (RM) is still an unsolved reproductive health problem. Inherited thrombophilias have been one of the causes. Mutation in genes encoding coagulation proteins, including prothrombin (PT G20210A) and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes, increase tendency for venous thromboembolism. This study aimed to evaluate association between polymorphisms in prothrombine and MTHFR genes with RM. We also evaluated association between protein C (PC), protein S (PS), antithrombin III (ATIII), and homocystiene with RM. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe conducted a case-control study on women with history of miscarriages and healthy controls. Genetic analysis was done using (TaqMan) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique and the other tests were performed to check general health indications and thrombophilia markers.

resultsIn this study, 195 RM group (group I) participants and 90 healthy controls (group II), PC, PS, ATIII deficiency and Hyperhomocysteinemia were in 7.2, 65.6, 9.2, 10.8% of group I respectively, but was 1.1, 7.8, 2.2, 2.2% of group II.
