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

introductionMyelomeningocele is one of the major congenital malformations involving the central nervous system. It is caused by a disruption of the neural tube closure, which is completed at 3-4 weeks of gestation. DISCUSSION: Multidisciplinary approach is necessary to treat and support this malformation which is a huge burden to the patient, family, and the society. This is a characteristic anomaly that it is known that taking folic acid during the periconceptional period, it is possible to reduce the risk of having a neural tube defect (NTD). Although folate fortification had dramatically reduced the incidence, it was not possible to diminish the risk. To date, many studies have been conducted focusing on candidate genes related to folate and glucose metabolism. We will describe a brief review of genetic etiology of candidate genes of metabolic pathways of folate and glucose, animal models of NTDs, and finally recent studies of microRNA.
