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

purposeSimultaneous fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was used in a preimplantation genetic diagnosis program to determine which embryos were normal for chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18, and 21.

methodsSingle blastomeres were disrupted and attached to glass slides using acetic acid and ethanol. Using a ratio mixture of chromosome enumeration DNA probes in combination with locus-specific identifier DNA probes, FISH was performed for the identification of chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18, and 21.

resultsFourteen couples enrolled in IVF produced 134 embryos for biopsy. Blastomeres subjected to five-color FISH revealed that 22% of embryos were normal for chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18, and 21. In addition, 52% were abnormal and no results could be detected for 25%. Twelve couples underwent embryo transfer, two couples did not receive embryos due to lack of any normal embryos, and three couples became pregnant.

conclusionsThe simultaneous detection of five-color FISH is a feasible method to detect aneuploidy in preimplantation embryos from women of advanced maternal age.
