Maternal Thrombophilic and Hypofibrinolytic Genetic Variants in Idiopathic Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: a Continuing Mystery.
Article in Reproductive sciences (Thousand Oaks, Calif.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Despite the fact that multiple recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) etiologies have been identified, 50-70% of RPL cases remain enigmatic, and idiopathic RPL is still a serious medical challenge. A plethora of studies have investigated the correlation of RPL with variations in coagulation and/or fibrinolytic factors-encoding genes. Notwithstanding, evidence for a link between these variations and RPL remains discordant. We aimed to explore the association of thrombophilic and hypofibrinolytic gene variations with RPL development. Two hundred Saudi women were recruited in this study, comprising 150 women experiencing RPL and 50 healthy women. Thirteen genetic variants, including FV G1691A, FV A4070G, F2 G20210A, F13A1 G103T, FGB - 455G > A, PAI-1 - 675 4G/5G, ITGB3 T1565C, MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, ACE I/D, APOB G10708A, APOE T388C, and APOE C526T were genotyped using ViennaLab StripAssay. Women experiencing RPL harbor significantly higher frequencies of the F13A1 103 T, FGB - 455A, and ITGB3 1565C alleles than control women (p < 0.001). No differences in the prevalence of other investigated variants were identified between control women and those with RPL. No considerable link of F5 1691G > A/4070A > G, MTHFR 677C > T/1298A > C, and APOE 388 T > C/526C > T haplotypes with RPL risk was demonstrated. F13A1 G103T, FGB - 455G > A, and ITGB3 T1565C variants are connected to a higher likelihood of developing RPL and, hence, may have the potential to identify those women at risk of RPL, thereby, improving RPL susceptibility prediction. Incorporating molecular testing of thrombophilic and hypofibrinolytic genetic variants into routine workup could confer a promising approach for refined RPL risk assessment.
