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

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EvC) is a rare autosomal recessive chondroectodermal dysplasia, associated with mutations in the EVC1 and EVC2 genes (4p16). The management of EvC is multidisciplinary, and early diagnosis is of the utmost importance for efficient and timely treatment. The main prognostic determinant is presence of a heart defect. The authors describe the case of a 42-year-old man referred to our outpatient cardiology clinic, following surgical repair of an atrial septal defect. He had presented to different medical specialties on numerous occasions since childhood, but remained without a clear diagnosis for more than 40 years. This case reinforces the need for a holistic view when assessing a patient with congenital heart disease. Moreover, this illustrates the importance of communication and discussion between different medical specialties.
