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

Septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), also known as de Morsier syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder belonging to the group of mid-line brain malformations. Despite the highly variable phenotypic penetration, its classical triad include a) optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH), b) agenesis of septum pellucidum and corpus callosum, and c) hypoplasia of the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. SOD has stringent diagnostic criteria requiring 2 or more features of the classic triad, therefore it represents a separate entity from other conditions such as ONH and achiasmia syndromes which share only some of these aspects, or SOD plus syndrome which is characterized by additional cortical abnormalities. Starting from its etiology and epidemiology, this narrative review focuses on the management of SOD patients, including their diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. To date, SOD is not curable; nonetheless, many of its symptoms can be improved through a tailored approach, consisting of hormonal replacement, corrective ophthalmological surgery and neuropsychological support.
