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

objectiveTo retrospectively investigate the incidence of prenatal diagnosis of 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome (22q11.2DS) in a single center and summarize its clinical manifestations to expand the phenotypic database.

methodsPregnant women who underwent prenatal diagnosis at The Women and Children's Hospital, School of Medicine, Xiamen University, from January 2018 to February 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Prenatal diagnosis was performed using routine G-banding karyotype analysis and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) or copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq). Fetuses diagnosed with 22q11.2DS were further analyzed using detailed ultrasound diagnostic records to summarize the clinical manifestations of 22q11.2DS.

resultsA total of 24,319 pregnant women underwent prenatal diagnosis, and 24 cases were diagnosed with 22q11.2DS, with an incidence of 0.99‰ (24/24319), including 16 cases of congenital heart disease, 4 cases of renal pelvis separation, 3 cases of cleft lip and palate, 2 cases of double strephenopodia, 2 cases of nasal bone dysplasia, and 1 case each of unclear thymus, spina bifida with meningomyelocele, abnormal fetal growth retardation, and NT thickening.

conclusionCongenital heart disease was the most common phenotype in 22q11.2DS, and other malformations also occurred in a certain proportion. In addition, some rare clinical phenotypes, such as spina bifida with myelomeningocele and nasal bone hypoplasia, were also found in this cohort, which should be taken seriously to improve the detection rate of fetal 22q11.2DS.
