Currarino syndrome in an elderly man: Multimodality imaging findings.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Currarino syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by the triad of anorectal anomalies, sacrococcygeal dysgenesis and presacral mass. Because of the anorectal anomalies, the extrinsic compression due to the presacral mass and neurologic deficits, patients usually present with gastrointestinal symptoms, most commonly chronic constipation. Most cases of Currarino syndromes are diagnosed in childhood, at birth or in the pre-birth period and, even if adult presentation has been reported in few sporadic case reports, the diagnosis in the late stages of life remains extremely rare. In this paper, we describe the imaging findings of an elderly man with a past medical history of megacolon surgically treated in his childhood, who was diagnosed with Currarino syndrome at the age of 72.
