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

Spina bifida is a congenital disorder with incomplete closure of the spinal column due to a bony vertebral defect. The term spina bifida literally means cleft spine and is used as a generic term of spinal dysraphism (Greek: Raphe = seam). It is a midline defect that occurs during the embryonic period. The insufficient closure of one or more vertebral arches is the result of an incomplete junction of the neural tube. Depending on the extent of the neural tube defect, various types of spina bifida can be differentiated. Closed spinal dysraphisms, also known as spina bifida occulta, are solely characterized by a bony defect of the vertebral arch, whereas, spina bifida cystica (synonym: open spina bifida or spina bifida aperta) can be distinguished by a protruding cyst, containing either meninges or meninges in combination with spinal cord tissue and are defined as open spinal dysraphisms.
