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

Whole-genome amplification (WGA) is a technique designed to amplify the entire genome from trace amounts of original template DNA, such as that from a single cell. This amplification provides sufficient DNA for downstream comprehensive genetic analysis. In cell-based noninvasive prenatal testing (cb-NIPT), single circulating trophoblast cells are isolated from the maternal bloodstream. Among the required steps in single trophoblast isolation are light paraformaldehyde fixation, permeabilization, and immunostaining, which are not compatible with all WGA methods. Following single trophoblast isolation and WGA, the amplified DNA is subjected to detailed SNP genotyping and next-generation sequencing for genetic testing. This protocol is a step-by-step guideline for WGA on circulating single trophoblasts isolated from maternal blood during pregnancy.
