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

Open spina bifida (open SB) is the most complex congenital abnormality of the central nervous system compatible with long-term survival. Multidisciplinary care is required to address the effect of this disease on the neurological, musculoskeletal, genitourinary, and gastrointestinal systems, as well as the complex psychosocial impact on the developing child. Individuals with SB benefit from the involvement of neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, urologists, physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists, pediatricians, psychologists, physical/occupational/speech therapists, social workers, nurse coordinators, and other personnel. Multidisciplinary clinics are the gold standard for coordinated, optimal medical and surgical care. Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital, formerly known as Children's Memorial Hospital, was one of the first hospitals in the USA to manage patients with this complex disease in a multidisciplinary manner. We describe the longitudinal experience of the multidisciplinary Spina Bifida Center at our institution and highlight the advances that have arisen from this care model over time. This clinic serves as an exemplar of organized, effective, and patient-centered approach to the comprehensive care of people living with open SB.
