Successful management of giant hydrocolpos in a limited-resource setting.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Abdominal distention and urinary retention are rare manifestations in newborns. The differential diagnosis of a female neonate presenting these signs, especially when combined, should include hydrocolpos due to imperforate hymen. The prognosis of imperforate hymen is generally good, although it can be associated with serious nephro-urologic and infectious complications. Early diagnosis and drainage of hydrocolpos allow prevention and/or improvement of these possible complications. In limited-resource settings, diagnostic imaging is more difficult to obtain, and, therefore, increased caution and an accurate physical exam with perineal inspection are essential. We report the case of a 8-day-old female neonate showing abdominal distention and urinary retention. She had a final diagnosis of imperforate hymen with giant hydrocolpos, complicated by obstructive uropathy and following urosepsis and bladder perforation.
