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

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is the result of incomplete formation of the diaphragm that occurs during embryogenesis. The defect in the diaphragm permits the herniation of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity contributing to the impairment of normal growth and development of the fetal lung. In addition to the hypoplastic lung, anomalies of the pulmonary arterioles worsen the pulmonary hypertension that can have detrimental effects in severe cases. Most cases of CDH can be effectively managed postnatally. Advances in neonatal and surgical care have resulted in improved outcomes over the years. When available, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can provide temporary cardiorespiratory support for those not effectively supported by mechanical ventilation. In spite of these advances, very severe cases of CDH still carry a very high mortality and morbidity rate. Advances in imaging and evaluation now allow for early and accurate prenatal diagnosis of CDH, thereby identifying those at greatest risk who may benefit from prenatal intervention. This review article discusses some of the surgical and non-surgical prenatal interventions in the management of isolated severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
