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

Gastroschisis and omphalocele are usually considered together since they are both congenital abdominal wall defects, and yet their anatomy, embryogenesis, and clinical presentation and problems are quite different. In addition, it appears that the risk factors for their occurrence differ. Etiologic factors contributing to the development of these defects are unknown. To investigate this we have reviewed reports of risk factors for each anomaly and report them here. We conducted a literature search using PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/) for risk factors implicated in the development of gastroschisis and omphalocele. The data reviewed here from clinical studies in the literature, closely parallels the data in animal studies which we reported earlier. There is little evidence for a genetic cause in the development of gastroschisis and much evidence supporting the possibility that environmental teratogens are important contributors to the development of this defect. On the other hand, in the case of omphalocele, there was little evidence for environmental factors and substantial data indicating that genetic or familial factors may play an important role.
