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

Prenatal diagnostics are used to identify the causes of fetal anomalies detected on ultrasound. If ultrasound findings appear to indicate a genetic disorder, sequencing methods offer the opportunity to safely diagnose numerous genetic disorders prenatally with the help of diagnostic puncture and aspiration. Depending on the type of ultrasound abnormality, massive parallel sequencing (MPS) (the terms "high throughput sequencing" and "next generation sequencing" [NGS] are often used synonymously) can identify up to 50% of the causes of fetal malformations (skeletal abnormalities). Confirmation of a genetic disorder makes it possible to inform and advise pregnant women or parents who are looking for advice about the expected development of their unborn child and provides a science-based assessment of the risk of recurrence. This review article describes the benefits and special features of prenatal diagnostic tests using next generation sequencing and looks ahead at the developments in molecular genetic diagnostic procedures which may be used for the prenatal confirmation of genetic disorders in the future.
