Congenital right diaphragmatic defects: Our institutional experience.
Observational study in African journal of paediatric surgery : AJPS. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe descriptive clinical study was conducted to analyse the clinical profile as well as the outcome of congenital right diaphragmatic defects among children including neonates in a tertiary care referral neonatal and paediatric centre in southern Karnataka, India. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective and prospective observational clinical study was conducted from January 2005 to August 2019, over a period of 14.7 years in a tertiary care referral neonatal and paediatric centre. Clinical characteristics and risk factors of 33 children including neonates admitted and diagnosed with congenital right diaphragmatic defects were assessed both pre- and postoperatively. Neonates and children with acquired right diaphragmatic hernia defects and the left-sided diaphragmatic defects were not included in this clinical study.
resultsFor statistical as well as clinical analysis, 33 study subjects were grouped into four groups, depending on the pre-operative and intraoperative findings as well as on their final diagnosis. Group I comprised right congenital diaphragmatic hernia (RCDH) (n = 18), Group II comprised RCDH with sac (n = 6), the babies with diagnosis of right diaphragmatic eventration were included in Group III (n = 7), whereas babies with other right-sided diaphragmatic hernia defects diagnosis were included in Group IV (n = 2).
conclusionRight-sided congenital diaphragmatic defects, though rare, do carry excellent survival if referred early and managed in a tertiary care neonatal and paediatric centre as that of left diaphragmatic defects.
