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

Although polydactyly is quite common in general, preaxial polydactyly of the foot is rare (0.4 per 10,000 patients) and specifically associated with certain congenital abnormalities and syndromes, which can include craniosynostosis, corpus callosum agenesis, and renal malformations. We present 2 recent cases of preaxial polydactyly of the foot that highlight the importance of maintaining a high level of suspicion for associated abnormalities in these patients. The first patient, who presented with supernumerary preaxial digits on both feet, pre- and postaxial polydactyly of the hands, was also macrocephalic and hyperteloric; this presentation strongly suggested a diagnosis of Greig cephalopolysyndactyly, a
