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

Deletion of chromosome 22q11 is a common genetic condition with varying clinical presentation ranging from neonatal fatality to patients whose presentation to medical services will be prompted after a few years by speech delay or mild developmental concerns. While most published data relating to patients with 22q11 deletions has focused on the "classical" presentation of the condition with cardiac manifestations, hypocalcaemia and velopharyngeal insufficiency, a much wider range of clinical presentations can characterise this syndrome. Anal anomalies, comprising imperforate anus and symptomatic anal stenosis, are a rarely described presentation of this multisystem disorder. In this report we document three patients presenting to paediatric services with symptoms attributed initially to symptomatic anal stenosis/atresia.
