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

backgroundUniparental disomy (UPD) is a specific type of chromosomal variation in which both chromosomes of a homologous pair are inherited from the same parent. It is responsible for a wide range of disorders. Monosomy rescue and trisomy rescue are the two main hypotheses of UPD generation.

methodsAn older parturient woman with a positive noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) test but a negative prenatal diagnosis was referred to the hospital. Trio whole exome sequencing (trio-WES) and ddPCR were further performed.

resultsUtilizing Trio-WES analysis, our research identified a maternal segmental UPD on chromosome 16, characterized by isodisomic genomic segments at the ends of the chromosome arms and heterodisomic genomic segments near the centromere. Moreover, several nuanced signs pointing to the paternal chromosome 16 were discovered, suggesting a low level of trisomy 16 mosaicism. A homozygous missense mutation (c.1499C>T; p.Ala500Val) was also detected in the fetal TBC1D24 gene, passed down from the heterozygous carrier mother. Furthermore, ddPCR analysis verified a 3% mosaic level of trisomy 16.

conclusionWe have quantitatively verified for the first time a combination of trisomy 16 mosaicism and maternal segmental UPD 16 due to incomplete trisomy rescue, illuminating the cause of the mismatch between positive NIPS and negative prenatal diagnoses.
