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

Data on fetal MRI in L1 syndrome are scarce with relevant implications for parental counseling and surgical planning. We identified two fetal MR imaging patterns in 10 fetuses harboring L1CAM mutations: the first, observed in 9 fetuses was characterized by callosal anomalies, diencephalosynapsis, and a distinct brainstem malformation with diencephalic-mesencephalic junction dysplasia and brainstem kinking. Cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, aqueductal stenosis, obstructive hydrocephalus, and pontine hypoplasia were variably associated. The second pattern observed in one fetus was characterized by callosal dysgenesis, reduced white matter, and pontine hypoplasia. The identification of these features should alert clinicians to offer a prenatal L1CAM testing.
