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

backgroundSpinal dysraphic anomalies may be hidden beneath grotesque cutaneous stigmata, like a fully developed accessory lower limb. CASE DESCRIPTION: Authors describe a 4-year-old boy who had socially unacceptable malformation in form of an accessory lower limb, in addition to perfectly normal both lower limbs with underlying low-lying tethered cord. Radiological studies showed underlying tethered cord and dysraphic spinal column.

conclusionSuccessful surgical correction was undertaken along with detethering of cord. The present case asks for evaluation of all cutaneous stigmata over spinal regions in newborns for spinal dysraphic states.
