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

Currarino syndrome is a rare set of congenital anomalies that include partial sacral agenesis, anorectal anomalies, presacral mass, urogenital malformation, and fistula between pelvic structures. We present a case of a 4-year and 10-month-old boy with incomplete Currarino syndrome, who was born with anus atresia, rectovesical fistula, and permanent perimembranous VSD. At the age of 3, he was diagnosed with neurogenic bladder and sacrococcygeal agenesis. Early psychomotor development was normal. Cytogenetic GTG-banding test confirmed a male karyotype 46, XY with high heterochromatin in chromosome 9, without mutation of the MNX 1 gene (chromosome 7q36). This genetic analysis is a result of "de novo mutation" or it is the disorder of DNA methylation. Further genetics analyses like whole-exome sequencing - WES should have been preformed if the test had been availble. The existence of Currarino syndrome should be suspected among the children born with anorectal malformation. Prompt diagnosis with multidisciplinary monitoring improves the care and quality of life of the patient, reduces morbidity and mortality.
