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

Two cases of fetal hand abnormalities are presented in this report. The first one is a case of unilateral fetal syndactyly detected in the first trimester routine scan, resulting in the early diagnosis of a severe genetic condition by invasive testing and early termination of pregnancy. By doing so, we ensured that the woman was managed in the most appropriate way. In the second case, we describe a fetus with bilateral hand polydactyly, which was combined with a cardiac defect - incompatible with extrauterine life. This was once again diagnosed during the first trimester scan. An uncomplicated termination of pregnancy was achieved in the first trimester of pregnancy.
