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: Limited reports have investigated the genetic etiology of fetuses with digestive system malformations (DSMs). Our initial aim was to describe supplement data of fetal DSMs and further elucidate the genotype-phenotype correlations in fetuses with DSMs. Methods: A total of 7,497 pregnancies with various high-risk factors undergoing prenatal diagnosis were enrolled at Quanzhou Women's and Children's Hospital from 2017 to 2024. Among these, 76 fetuses diagnosed with DSMs via prenatal ultrasound were collected for further analysis. All subjects underwent amniocentesis, followed by karyotype analysis and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA). Results: Karyotype analysis identified 3 cases of trisomy-21, 1 case of trisomy-18, and 1 case of balanced translocation t(10;11), reaching a chromosomal aberration detection rate of 6.58% (5/76). The chromosomal aneuploies detected by karyotype were confirmed by CMA. Additionally, CMA identified 6 cases of likely pathogenic/pathogenic CNVs (pCNVs/lpCNVs) that were missed by karyotype analysis, including 17q12 microdeletion/microduplication, 16p11.2 microduplication, 22q11.21q11.22 microdeletion, 2q13 microdeletion, and 16p13.11 microduplication, yielding an incremental diagnostic rate of 7.89% (6/76) for CMA over karyotype analysis ( Conclusion: Several pCNVs/lpCNVs that associate with DSMs were identified. Our findings may strengthen the association between 16p11.2 microduplication syndrome and DSMs, and the correlation between 16p13.11 microduplication syndrome and intestinal malrotation.
