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

backgroundEctodermal Dysplasia is a diverse group of inherited disorders characterized by a congenital defect in two or more ectodermal structures. Due to a fairly low incidence, to the best of our knowledge there are few clues that can assist in making an effective prenatal ultrasound diagnosis. Currently, the prenatal diagnosis of ectodermal dysplasia depends on a fetal genetic test combined with the family history. In this case report, we present a fetal case of ectodermal dysplasia with a remarkable prenatal ultrasound image, genetic testing, family history, and relevant exams of the stillbirth. CASE PRESENTATION: A multipara with a 22-week singleton male pregnancy undergoing a fetal ultrasound examination. The image showed a hypoplastic maxilla and mandible. Subsequently, the ectodermal dysplasia was defined using a family history and genetic testing. The skin pathology from the aborted fetus demonstrated a hypohidrotic type. The computed tomography (CT) reconstruction after induced labor confirmed the prenatal ultrasound findings of the maxilla and mandible.

conclusionsThis case suggested that prenatal ultrasound may provide a valuable clue of ectodermal dysplasia. The diagnosis can be established using further prenatal genetic testing and a family history.
