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

objectiveTo present antenatal sonographic findings and postnatal outcome of a population of foetuses diagnosed with agenesis of corpus callosum. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe database of our ultrasound laboratory was retrospectively searched for cases of agenesis of the corpus callosum suspected at antenatal sonography between 2002 and 2012. The following variables were assessed: maternal age, gestational age at diagnosis, gender, any additional cerebral and extra-cerebral malformations, results of karyotype analysis and pregnancy and foetal/neonatal outcomes.

resultsDuring the study period, 33 foetuses with agenesis of the corpus callosum were identified antenatally, with a male preponderance. The mean maternal age was 28.48 years. In all cases, pre/postnatal MRI and/or necropsy were performed in order to confirm the diagnosis. Among those, there were additional brain findings in 23 (69.7%) and additional extra-cerebral anomalies in 3 (9.1%) foetuses. Karyotype analysis was performed in 21 of 33 (63.6%) cases. As for pregnancy outcome, the pregnancy was terminated in 14 (42.4%) of the remaining 19 foetuses; eighteen (54.5%) were delivered near term and one (3.1%) who was delivered prematurely died during the neonatal period.

conclusionThe diagnosis of congenital brain malformation is a challenging issue, since additional findings have a considerable effect on prognosis; detailed examination with genetic counselling should be performed.
