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

As a population-based national surveillance region, Tianning District confronts with great challenges in birth defects (BDs) prevention. We aimed to describe the epidemiology of BDs in infants (including dead fetus, stillbirth, or live birth between 28 weeks of gestation and 42 days after birth) in Tianning District from 2014 to 2018. The data was collected from the national birth defect surveillance system. The prevalence rates of BDs were calculated by poisson distribution. Trends of incidence and the associations of regarding perinatal characteristics with BDs were analyzed by poisson regression. During the study period, the prevalence of BD was 155.49 per 10,000 infants. The ten leading BDs were congenital heart defects (CHD), polydactyly, Congenital malformation of kidney (CMK), syndactyly, cleft palate, hypospadias, Congenital hypothyroidism (CH), congenital atresia of rectum and anus, congenital talipes equinovarus (CTE), and microtia. A significant increase in the prevalence of CHD was observed with a prevalence rate ratio (PRR) of 1.191. Gravidity ≥ 3 (PRR = 1.38) and multiple births (PRR = 2.88) were risk factors for BDs. Premature delivery (PRR = 4.29), fetal death or stillbirth (PRR = 24.79), and infant death (PRR = 43.19) were adverse consequences of BDs. Strengthening publicity and education, improving the ability of diagnosis and monitoring, expanding surveillance time quantum of BDs system may be warranted.
