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

objectiveWilliams and Alagille syndromes are genetic disorders associated with pathologic arterial narrowing. We hypothesized that fetal idiopathic ductus arteriosus (DA) constriction may represent a prenatal manifestation of the arteriopathy associated with these syndromes.

methodsMulti-institutional case series review of the pre- and postnatal medical records, echocardiograms, and genetic test results of fetuses presenting with idiopathic DA constriction.

resultsWe identified four cases of idiopathic fetal DA constriction at 21-36 weeks of gestation. All had right ventricular hypertension, dilation, hypertrophy, and dysfunction and either DA constriction or absence. All demonstrated progressive peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis after birth. Three met clinical diagnostic criteria for Alagille syndrome; two tested had confirmatory JAG1 mutations. One also developed supravalvar aortic stenosis after birth and was positive for 7q11.23 deletion (Williams syndrome).

conclusionThis is the first case series to suggest that idiopathic fetal DA constriction may be a prenatal manifestation of genetic arteriopathy.
