Brachysyndactyly in Poland Syndrome.
Article in Cureus, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A 36-year-old man presented with incidental findings of an asymmetric chest with hypoplastic and flattened left anterior chest wall due to absent left pectoralis major. He also had short and webbed fingers in the left hand. These deformities were present since birth. Chest X-ray showed hyperlucency on the left side. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed an absence of the left pectoralis major. X-ray of the left hand showed hypoplasia of the proximal phalanx and aplasia of the middle and distal phalanges of the second digit, and aplasia of the middle phalanges of the third and fourth digits. A diagnosis of left-sided Poland syndrome with associated ipsilateral brachysyndactyly, which is a very rare entity, was made. The patient opted against any reconstructive procedure as he had a minimal functional limitation.
