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

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a dramatic human brain malformation sequence with an extreme variable phenotypic spectrum and genetic heterogeneity, variable degree of severity and unknown etiology, in many cases. HPE is classified into syndromic, chromosomal, and non-syndromic, non-chromosomal. The most cases of HPE are syndromic. We present an atypical case of syndromic alobar HPE associated with digynic triploidy fetus, prenatally diagnosed, early at 18 weeks of gestation, by ultrasound (US) and complex genetic investigations. The US examination was performed with a specialized US machine, General Electric Voluson E10 OLED BT18, using two-dimensional (2D) scanning, three-dimensional (3D) image reconstruction, four-dimensional (4D) spatiotemporal image methodology and the highest power Doppler US technology. A detailed US examination of the fetus revealed several major abnormalities of the fetal head and severe facial malformations. Based on the antenatal US findings, the fetus was diagnosed with alobar HPE. After a careful examination and genetic counseling, additional cytogenetic investigations and molecular genetic analyses were performed, which revealed an abnormal number of 69 chromosomes, digynic triploidy (69,XXY). Two days later, the parents choose to interrupt the current gestation because of major fetal malformations. The pathological examination of the embryo reaffirmed the antenatal diagnostics.
