Severe caudal regression syndrome with overlapping features of VACTERL complex: antenatal detection and follow up.
Article in BJR case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Caudal regression is a rare syndrome with a spectrum of structural defects involving multiple organ systems. Spinal anomalies, a charecteristic feature of the entity, can vary from isolated partial agenesis of the coccyx to lumbosacral agenesis with involvement of the thoracic spine in the most severe cases. The aetiology of this syndrome is not well-known. Maternal diabetes, genetic predisposition and vascular hypoperfusion have been suggested as possible causative factors. Severe forms of the disease are commonly associated with cardiac, renal and respiratory problems with overlapping feature of VACTERL complex (vertebral, anorectal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal and limb anomalies). In this case report, we describe imaging appearances of severe caudal regression syndrome, VACTERL complex associated with multisystem anomalies, detected on a screening antenatal scan during second trimester. Some unusual features of the syndrome including sternal anomaly and absent bony hemithorax are highlighted.
