Chorionic Villus Sampling for Rapid Confirmation of High-Risk NIPT Results for Trisomy 21, 18, and 13.
Article in Prenatal diagnosis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesInternational societies recommend amniocentesis (AC) after high-risk non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) because of potential inconclusive results from chorionic villus sampling (CVS) caused by placental mosaicism. Our study aimed to evaluate the necessity of confirmatory amniocentesis following CVS for trisomies 21, 18, and 13 with separate analysis of cytotrophoblast (CTB) and mesenchymal core (MC).
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the confirmatory cytogenetic results between April 2017 and December 2022. CTB and MC were separated and analyzed by QF-PCR and/or SNP array, and karyotyping when needed.
resultsAmong 338 cases, 70% (237/339) of women underwent CVS (70.5%) and 30% (101/338) underwent AC. Mosaic trisomy in MC requiring additional amniocentesis was detected in 13.5% (5/37) of cases referred due to trisomy 13, 2.5% (4/158) of cases of trisomy 21% and 0% (0/42) of cases of trisomy 18.
conclusionsA definitive diagnosis of CVS was achieved in 97.5%, 100%, and 86.5% of patients with high-risk NIPT results for trisomy 21, 18, and 13, respectively. Moreover, our clinical practice confirms that the majority of pregnant women (70%) opted for CVS as a quick confirmatory test. We conclude that both CVS and AC can be offered when preceded by pre-test counseling on the risks of potential inconclusive results as calculated in this study.
