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

objectiveTo shed light on a unique presentation of duplication of the pituitary gland (DPG)-plus syndrome.

methodsWe present the case report gathered from the patient.

resultsThis patient uniquely had DPG-plus syndrome with a concurrent dermoid cyst.

conclusionDPG is a very rare developmental anomaly and there are not many case reports published in the literature. The presence of DPG with dermoid cyst in our patient has not been reported previously. This case report discusses the various presentations of the syndrome and also provides an overview of investigations and management of these patients.
