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

Background: Chromosome 9 abnormalities are rare. Full trisomy 9 is mostly incompatible with postnatal survival, whereas mosaic trisomy 9 permits survival with highly variable clinical manifestations. Triple-line mosaicism involving both full trisomy 9 and structural chromosome 9 abnormalities is exceptionally rare. Case Presentation: A 1-year-old girl, conceived via IVF, had normal nuchal translucency and NIPT. Prenatal ultrasound showed a single umbilical artery, lower abdominal cyst, borderline ventriculomegaly at 28 weeks, and late polyhydramnios. She was born at 40 weeks, 3,430 g, 49 cm, head circumference 36 cm, Apgar 8/9/9, requiring mild oxygen supplementation. At age 1 year, she exhibited dysmorphic facial features (prominent forehead, hypertelorism, upslanting palpebral fissures, short philtrum, low-set mildly dysplastic ears, retrognathia), bilateral ovarian cysts, minimal clinodactyly of the right fifth finger, palmar and plantar crease abnormalities, hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), patent foramen ovale (PFO), previously closed muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD), severe hypotonia, global developmental delay, convergent strabismus, and feeding difficulties requiring gastrostomy. Cranial ultrasound revealed ventriculomegaly, grade II intraventricular hemorrhage, slightly thin corpus callosum, and altered posterior cranial fossa. Postnatal genetic evaluation, including array CGH (comparative genomic hybridization), conventional karyotyping, FISH (fluorescent in situ hybridization), and QF-PCR (Quantitative Fluorescence Polymerase Chain Reaction), identified a complex mosaicism comprising three cell lines: 47,XX,+del(9)(q13)[60%]/47,XX,+9[20%]/46,XX[20%]. Conclusion: This case expands the phenotypic spectrum of chromosome 9 mosaicism and highlights the diagnostic value of multimodal genomic analysis for accurate detection and counselling.
