Karyotypic analysis of 62,587 Han Chinese infertile couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatments: insights into chromosomal variations.
Observational study in BMC genomics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis retrospective cytogenetic analysis aimed to characterize karyotypic profiles in a cohort of infertile Han Chinese couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) interventions.
methodsG-banding karyotyping analysis was performed in 62,587 infertile couples from the outpatient department of the Institute of Women, Children and Reproductive Health, Shandong University (N-banding and C-banding technique or high-resolution technique if necessary) between January 2013 and December 2022.
resultsThe overall prevalence of chromosomal abnormalities was 2.35% (2,938/125,174), with 2.04% (1,276/62,587) occurring in women and 2.66% (1,662/62,587) in men. Reciprocal translocation emerged as the predominant form of chromosomal abnormalities in the infertility population, followed closely by mosaicism. In the category of chromosomal polymorphisms, autosomal variations were identified in 8,372 cases, while sex chromosome variations were noted in 920 cases. The most frequently observed polymorphisms included 1qh+, 9qh+, 16qh+, and Yqh+ (add of the secondary constriction). The total incidence of chromosomal variations, including both abnormalities and polymorphisms, was significantly higher in males than in females, with a statistically significant difference (P < 0.001).
conclusionsChromosomal variations are acknowledged as significant contributors to infertility, and infertile men possess an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities or polymorphisms. Routine cytogenetic analysis, therefore, is strongly recommended for infertile couples undergoing ART for the most suitable treatment.
