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

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a frequently occurring, major congenital abnormality that has high mortality and significant morbidity in survivors. Currently, the pathogenesis of CDH is poorly understood. In this study, we have compared the anatomical characteristics of diaphragm defects in the well-described nitrofen model with the pathogenesis of CDH in vitamin A-deficient rats and wt1 null-mutant mice, representing teratogen-induced, dietary and genetic models of CDH, respectively. Our histological investigations, aided by three-dimensional reconstruction of the developing diaphragm, revealed a common pathogenic mechanism with regards to the location of the diaphragm defect in the foramen of Bochdalek (posterolateral diaphragm) and specific abnormalities within the primordial diaphragm. Furthermore, our analysis of postmortem specimens highlighted similarities in human cases of CDH and these animal models, supporting our hypothesis that CDH in humans arises from a defect in the primordial diaphragm. Immunohistochemical data were consistent with the defect in the primordial diaphragm being in the nonmuscular component. Importantly, these data show that very distinct models of CDH all share a common pathogenic mechanism and, together with supporting evidence from pathological specimens, highlight our proposed pathogenic model for CDH.
