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

backgroundPolydactyly belongs to skeletal anomalies and may be a symptom of more complex genetic syndromes. MAIN OBSERVATION: We observed an index case of ulnar hexadactyly of all four limbs in a 20-year-old man from India with three more brothers affected in his family. No additional anomalies were observed. The diagnosis of a sporadic (ulnar) postaxial hexadactyly was made.

conclusionSporadic postaxial hexadactyly is one of the most common polydactylies in humans. In contrast, in the dermatologic literature the condition has only rarely been described.

conclusionPresence of supernummary digits or toes, i.e. polydactyly, is seen occasionally in the dermatologic practise. The present case is extraordinary since all limbs were involved and the same was true for three of his brothers. If treatment is asked, hand surgery would be necessary.
