Clinical, cytogenetic, environmental and inheritance findings in Mexican neonates with VACTERL association.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
In this series the authors evaluate clinical, cytogenetic, environmental and inheritance characteristics of neonates with VACTERL association. Twenty-six patients were diagnosed with VACTERL association and had a normal somatometric profile. Fifty-eight percent cases were males. The frequency of each component was: vertebral defects (V), 77 %; anal atresia (A), 62 %; tracheo-esophageal fistula/esophageal atresia (TEF/EA), 58 %; renal anomalies (R), 58 %; limb abnormalities (L), 50 %, and cardiac malformations (C), 42 %. The most frequent combination was VAR (n = 3). Sixteen patients had non-VACTERL anomalies such as bilateral cryptorchidism (n = 4). Two probands (8 %) had first or second-degree relatives with two components. Five patients (19 %) had environmental factors that interacted with occurrence of VACTERL association. All patients had a normal karyotype. This study contributes to a better characterization of VACTERL phenotype in neonatal period. In spite of predominant sporadic occurrence, underlying genetic susceptibility and environmental influences point to a complex interplay between genes and environmental factors in VACTERL association.
