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

backgroundSturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) is a sporadic congenital disorder, characterized by unilateral facial nevus flammeus associated with ipsilateral glaucoma, choroidal angioma and leptomeningeal hemangiomas. SWS can comorbid with other disorders in some patients, however, there has been no prior described case of SWS and polydactyly occurring in the same patient. CASE PRESENTATION: A 15-year-old girl with diagnosis of SWS presented to our hospital. She had bilateral glaucoma and extensive port-wine stains distributing in bilateral faces, left neck and left upper limb. Meanwhile, the patient was noted to demonstrate the superfluous digit attaching on the left thumb and was diagnosed as polydactyly. Trabeculectomy, with intraoperative application of mitomycin C and postoperative subconjunctival injections of 5-fluorouracil, was successful in controlling the intraocular pressure in both eyes.

conclusionsWe report a case with bilateral SWS coexisting with unilateral polydactyly, which, to our knowledge, has not been recognized previously and adds further evidence to the existing literature. In view of the rare concurrence of SWS and polydactyly, the etiology is unclear and further investigation is required to explore the underlying pathogenesis.
