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

purposeCleavage stage embryo biopsy and preimplantation diagnosis was first reported five years ago. The annual collation of the world figures for centres offering this procedure is important to continually assess the efficiency and success of the biopsy, diagnosis and pregnancies obtained. MATERIALS AND

methodsData was collected from 14 centres worldwide. The largest series of diagnosis has been performed for those patients carrying X-linked disease where the embryos have been sexed either by PCR or FISH. PCR has also been used for the specific diagnosis of a number of single gene defects, mainly for cystic fibrosis but also for the diagnosis of Lesch Nyhan syndrome, Fragile X, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Tay Sachs, haemophilia and RhD blood typing.

resultsFor PCR sexing, a total of 62 cycles have been performed with 14 pregnancies, 8 deliveries and 11 babies born. For FISH sexing, 70 cycles have resulted in 15 pregnancies, 8 deliveries and 11 babies born. For the specific diagnosis of single genes defects, a total of 65 cycles resulted in 21 pregnancies, 12 deliveries and 12 babies born. Overall, 197 cycles were performed, with 171 embryo transfers (86%), 50 pregnancies (25% per cycle, 29% per transfer), 28 deliveries and 34 babies born.

conclusionsNew methods are being developed to increase the scope of preimplantation diagnoses that can be offered. From next year, the biochemical and miscarriage rates will also be recorded.
