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

Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital disease caused by the abnormal development of monochorionic diamniotic twins that appears as a cystic mass containing fetus-like structures mainly in the retroperitoneum of infants. The clinical manifestations of fetus in fetu vary, but they mostly present at infancy, hence, it should be differentiated from a teratoma. Here, we report a case of an infant with fetus in fetu in the retroperitoneum. Enhanced computed tomography scans and three-dimensional images showed a huge mixed-density mass on the left side of the abdominopelvic cavity with patchy distribution of fat, intact bones, and soft tissue. The child underwent fetus in fetu resection under general anaesthesia. Histopathology confirmed that the mass contained skin, muscle, intestinal mucosa, bones and cartilage, nerves, muscles, fat, and bone marrow tissue.
