Reinforcing the vascular disruption theory of the genesis of Poland's syndrome: a rare association of diaphragmatic eventration in a preterm infant with severe musculoskeletal defects.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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 preterm female infant was admitted at birth with respiratory distress. On examination, she had an asymmetric right chest wall and ipsilateral small hand. Air entry was reduced over the right chest. A clinical diagnosis of Poland's syndrome was made based on the hypoplasia of the right pectoral muscles, absent nipple, deformed ribs and symbrachydactyly of the ipsilateral hand. Chest X-ray suggested and ultrasound confirmed eventration of the right hemidiaphragm. 'Subclavian artery supply disruption sequence' (SASDS) theory by Bavnick and Weaver remains the most accepted pathogenic mechanism in Poland's syndrome. This case reinforces SASDS theory associated with the genesis of Poland's syndrome that relates to the pathogenicity of vascular disruption of subclavian artery, characteristics of which are unilateral pectoral defects, symbrachydactyly and eventration of the diaphragm. At 2 months, she underwent diaphragm plication. She is under review by our multidisciplinary surgical team for reconstruction of the chest deformity.
