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

Craniofrontonasal syndrome (CFNS) is a rare X-linked disorder that shows greater severity in females and is largely attributed to mutations in EFNB1. A 7-year-old boy presented with hypertelorism, broad nasal root, midfacial hypoplasia, mandibular prognathia, ptosis, and scaphocephaly was clinically diagnosed with CFNS. Three-dimensional computed tomographic scans confirmed the isolated sagittal synostosis. His mother also showed clinical features of CFNS, but less severe. Genetic tests uncovered a novel C to T mutation at nucleotide 466 (c.466C>T) in exon 1 of EFNB1 for both. To the best of our knowledge, this is the only reported incident of CFNS in a male child exhibiting isolated sagittal synostosis.
