A Sudden Infant Death Due to Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
Article in Academic forensic pathology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 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
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is an uncommon condition in which the embryological elements of the diaphragm fail to fuse completely, leaving a defect in the barrier separating the thorax from the abdomen. Although most cases are symptomatic at birth and lead to prompt treatment, asymptomatic cases may go undetected, presenting later on as a result of sudden or exacerbated herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity. Presented here is the sudden death of a 6-week-old girl. At autopsy, the abdominal organs were found to be filling the left chest cavity, having herniated through a previously undetected posterior diaphragmatic hernia of Bochdalek. The literature on CDH is reviewed, including discussion of the embryological origin, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of the condition. Special emphasis is placed on the challenges posed by these late-presenting cases, particularly in their diagnosis and management, highlighting the importance of developing more direct methods of detection for these very reasons.
