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

Osteopoikilosis is a rare, usually asymptomatic, autosomal dominant bone disorder, which is usually found incidentally on X-ray. Klippel-Feil syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by the congenital fusion of any two of the seven cervical (neck) vertebrae. It is caused by a failure in the normal segmentation or division of the cervical vertebrae during the early weeks of fetal development. In this case report, we describe a woman with osteopoikilosis associated with type 2 Klippel-Feil syndrome. Additionally, four female members of her family had osteopoikilosis. We state that possible syndromes that can go with osteopoikilosis must be kept in mind in case of an incidental diagnosis in daily practice.
