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

backgroundSirenomelia is a rare congenital defect. Its management during pregnancy and after delivery is becoming a controversial issue because of its complex nature and management outcome. The possibility of expectant management in the sirenomelia twin drove us to write this case report. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of successful expectant management in twin sirenomelia which was diagnosed in the second trimester. Prenatal counseling of the couple by a multi-disciplinary team regarding the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of the sirenomelia twin was done. The mother gave birth, at term, to one normal and one sirenomelia neonate by cesarean section.

conclusionExpectant management of sirenomelia one in twin pregnancy is advisable in a resource-limited setting.
