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

Caudal regression syndrome is a rare congenital malformation with varying degrees of early gestational developmental failure. It is also known as sacral agenesis or caudal dysplasia. The cause of this malformation is thought to be defects in neuralization around the 28th day of the gestational period. Although maternal uncontrolled diabetes, genetic predisposition and vascular hypoperfusion are the possible risk factors, actual pathogenesis is unclear. CRS is generally diagnosed at prenatal assessment, but also a varying number of newborns with some degree of anomaly may be presented. In our case, we diagnosed a caudal regression syndrome fetus early in the second trimester. Determination of the pathology early in the gestational age gives parents a chance for termination of pregnancy. Although diabetes mellitus is the major risk factor for CRS, as in our case, sporadic presentations may occur. So clinicians should consider CRS when CRL is shorter than expected and incomplete vertebral ossification is observed both in gray scala and 3D imaging ultrasonography.
