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

The purpose of this study was to assess the application value of chromosome microarray analysis (CMA) for prenatal diagnosis of fetuses with ultrasonic abnormalities. A retrospective study was conducted on 315 fetuses with ultrasonic abnormalities without aneuploidies who received prenatal diagnosis at Meizhou People's Hospital, from October 2022 to December 2023. Fetal specimens obtained by ultrasound guided puncture were detected by CMA analysis with Affymetrix CytoScan 750K array. The detection rate of chromosomal abnormalities in different ultrasonic abnormalities was analyzed. Among the 315 fetuses, 16 (5.08%) were detected with pathogenic/likely pathogenic copy number variants (P/LP CNVs). Three (5.88%) among 51 cases with ultrasound structural abnormalities in multiple organ systems were detected with P/LP CNVs, 5 (6.02%) among 83 cases with a single structural anomaly were detected with P/LP CNVs, and 8 (4.42%) among 181 cases with ultrasonographic soft markers were detected with P/LP CNVs. Compared with conventional karyotyping analysis, CMA can improve the detection of fetal chromosomal abnormalities and provide an effective diagnostic tool for prenatal diagnosis.
