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

We present a case of marked fetal sinus bradycardia as the sole presenting sign of congenital combined pituitary hormone deficiencies. Fetal sinus bradycardia < 120 beats/min was detected at 36 weeks of gestation during an otherwise uncomplicated pregnancy. Sinus bradycardia persisted after birth, and congenital hypothyroidism and growth hormone deficiencies were subsequently identified. Normal sinus rhythm was rapidly restored with hormone supplementation. Hypothyroidism and growth hormone deficiency should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unexplained perinatal sinus bradycardia because early diagnosis may help to avoid potential complications (ie, mental retardation, severe hypoglycemia, and growth anomaly).
