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

backgroundPoland syndrome and Müllerian duct agenesis (Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser(MRKH)-like syndrome) are two rare congenital anomalies with unclear etiology. CASE REPORT: An 18-year-old female presented with hypoplasia of the left pectoralis muscles and subcutaneous tissue, hypoplasia of the left breast and nipple, and dextrocardia, typical in those with a severe form of Poland syndrome. She also showed aplasia of the vagina and uterus, bilateral ovarian agenesis, and hyperandrogenism, presenting as MRKH-like syndrome.

conclusionIt is plausible to assume that these two congenital anomalies which arose from distant sites may be interrelated. More cases and further studies will certainly help delineate the pathogenesis of these syndromes.
