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

objectiveAutopsy findings play an important role in prevention of perinatal and neonatal deaths. Therefore, we attempted to reveal demographic and forensic features of these deaths in Turkey.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed autopsy reports for 184 cases of perinatal deaths released from Istanbul Forensic Medicine Institute Morgue between 2000 and 2002 and investigated demographic and medico-legal features of the cases.

resultsThe mean age of the cases was 2.98 +/- 6.41 days. Fifteen point two percent (15.2%) of the cases were of murder, 52.7% of the cases were illegitimate children and 41.3% had the ability to survive.

conclusionIt can be suggested that autopsy and post-mortem examinations should be performed in order to determine the real causes and contributing factors of perinatal and neonatal deaths. Data obtained in autopsies and postmortem examinations will make great contributions to the prevention of these deaths.
