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

49, XXXYY is a rare form of sex chromosomal aneuploidy that has been reported in 11 cases worldwide. The parental origin of the extra sex chromosomes and the specific clinical features of this condition remain unclear. We recruited a case with 49, XXXYY and performed genome-wide copy number variation analysis using next-generation sequencing. In addition, the parental origin of the extra sex chromosomes was determined through short tandem repeats (STRs) locus genotyping. Furthermore, a comprehensive review and comparison of clinical phenotypes were conducted among 12 cases with 49, XXXYY. The patient exhibited a karyotype of 49, XXXYY without any mosaic patterns. No pathogenic microdeletions or microduplications (> 100 kb) were identified in autosomes 1-22. Analysis of the STR loci revealed that two of three X chromosomes originated from father. This suggests that the nondisjunction of chromosomes X and Y during stages I and II of meiotic spermatogenesis led to the production of an abnormal sperm with XXYY. Subsequently, fertilization of a normal oocyte with this abnormal sperm resulted in an abnormal zygote with pentasomy XXXYY. The main clinical features observed in these cases included varying degrees of mental retardation, minor facial dysmorphology, and gonadal or endocrine abnormalities. In conclusion, 49, XXXYY is a rare chromosomal disorder characterized by mental retardation and facial dysmorphology. Nondisjunction of chromosomes X and Y during stages I and II of meiotic spermatogenesis is a critical factor contributing to the development of this abnormal karyotype.
