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

Kabuki syndrome (KS) is a congenital disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, skeletal and dermatoglyphic abnormalities, mild-to-moderate intellectual disability, and postnatal growth deficiency. Recently, mutations in the KMT2D and KDM6A genes have been identified as the causative factors in most KS cases. In this study, we present three cases of KS associated with tethered cord syndrome. All cases had a sacral dimple, which is a skin stigmata, and radiological abnormalities, including fatty or thickened filum terminale. Untethering surgery was performed and clinical improvement was achieved. Although in the association between KS and closed neural tube defect (NTD) has rarely been discussed, we emphasize that sacral dimples in KS and tethered cord syndrome are not uncommon. The KS patients with sacral dimple must be carefully investigated by radiological examination and urological study if there is abnormality. Further understanding of the genetic mechanism underlying KS might provide a novel insight on the correlation between the genetics and development of closed NTDs.
