Article in Der Urologe. Ausg. A, 2006. 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
backgroundThere are no studies on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in German children with a myelomeningocele (MMC). This study aims to obtain generalizable epidemiological data on the HRQoL of such children. PATIENTS AND
methodsKINDL-R questionnaires were filled out and clinical findings on typical MMC disabilities were also documented. Of the 115 families contacted, 70 MMC families responded (response rate 61%). Normative KINDL-R data from a sample of healthy children served as reference.
resultsNo differences in clinical data were found when comparing responders and non-responders. KINDL total scores as well as scores across all scales were highly concordant for parental reporting and self-reporting.
conclusionsDespite the fact that children with MMC often suffer from severe physical limitations, their HRQoL is not necessarily lower than that of healthy children.
