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.
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
This study aimed to perform noninvasive prenatal testing for structural chromosomal rearrangements (NIPT-SR) for a female pregnant proband carrying a t(4;8) balanced translocation, whose husband exhibited a normal karyotype. NIPT-SR could accurately detect transmission status of structural rearrangements in fetus through Hidden Markov Model (HMM) analysis, which requires the construction of parental haplotypes. To address the challenge of lacking genetic information from other family members of this proband, we developed a novel strategy to infer the fetal inheritance of structural variants by integrating Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) with the NIPT-SR approach. Long-read sequencing was performed on the proband to directly detect the translocation and nearby single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and to link the structural variants with phased haplotypes. NIPT-SR method was used to infer the fetal inheritance of the constructed haplotypes and to evaluate the potential presence of unbalanced translocation in the fetus. Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) was performed at 12 weeks of gestation, followed by copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) and karyotype analysis after birth respectively to confirm the accuracy of NIPT-SR results. Using nanopore sequencing, we identified the precise locations of the breakpoint junctions and successfully established the SNP-based haplotypes that were linked to the breakpoints on chr4 and chr8, without the need for retrieving genetic information of other family members. Haplotype-based analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) indicated that the fetus inherited the normal haplotypes, which was consistent with the NIPT results and confirmed by the postnatal CNV-seq and karyotype analysis. In conclusion, the NIPT-SR method coupled with ONT platform could be used to perform NIPT-SR for those who carries balanced translocation circumventing the need for other family members as reference, providing an important supplement to birth defects prevention.
