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

To identify risk indicators for talipes equinovarus, we compared 175 case children with talipes equinovarus of unknown etiology identified through the Washington State Birth Defect Registry with 1,470 control children sampled from resident live births. Infant gender, maternal smoking, death of a preterm sibling, and marital status were independently related to talipes equinovarus in an analysis based on information from birth certificate records. The findings differed by infant gender. The prevalence odds ratio for maternal smoking was 2.6 (95% confidence interval: 1.6-4.0) in males and 1.4 (95% confidence interval:0.6-3.2) in females.
