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

We report the results of a retrospective analysis of radiological and clinical findings in 45 cases of midbrain-hindbrain anomalies and review recent advances in embryology and molecular neurogenetics. Among 45 patients with midbrain-hindbrain malformations, 16 cases of molar tooth malformation, 12 of cerebellar hypoplasia, ten of posterior fossa cyst and cerebellar vermian hypoplasia, three of rhombencephalosynapsis, two of Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy and two cases of isolated cerebellar dysplasia were identified. Twenty-six patients presented with motor-mental retardation, which was the most common clinical finding. Eleven patients were born to consanguineous parents. The correct diagnosis of cerebellar malformation is important for determining prognosis, the risk of recurrence and the need for genetic counselling. Integrated classification of malformations based on morphology, embryology and molecular neurogenetics may be useful.
