Review in SpringerPlus, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

The genetic cause of idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (ICTEV) is largely unknown. We performed a systematic review to describe the findings from 21 studies that have examined the genetic variants related to ICTEV, and to evaluate the quality of reporting. We found that ICTEV was positively associated with Hox family genes, collagen family genes, GLI3, N-acetylation genes, T-box family genes, apoptotic pathway genes, and muscle contractile family genes. Negative and controversial results were also discussed, and several genes associated with ICTEV were identified. Due to the limitation of the included studies, rare coding variants should be further investigated, sample size should be enlarged, and candidate genes should be replicated in larger ICTEV populations. Epigenetic study, pathways, chromosome capture, and detailed gene-environment interaction will also allow further elucidation of factors involved in ICTEV pathogenesis and may shed light on diagnosis and timely and accurate interventions.
