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

Occult spinal dysraphism (OSD) comprises different forms of failure in embryogenic development that can lead to genitourinary, spinal, or lower limb alterations, thus determining progressive neurological deterioration. The correct management of children harboring OSD represents a significant issue during their life up to adulthood. However, patients often have to entertain individual consultations with each specialist. We settled on a multidisciplinary team comprising pediatric neurosurgeons, urologists, neurologists, orthopedists, and other supporting physicians. We present the results of such actions by analyzing a series of 141 children with OSD subjected to neurosurgical procedures, evaluating the impact of multidisciplinary management on outcomes. We also evaluated the specific actions according to the different ages of OSD patients from birth to adulthood to provide a schematic plan that could represent a basis for establishing and disseminating the need for a multidisciplinary approach in OSD management. The multidisciplinary team allows all consultants to see the patient together, covering specific aspects of history and examination pertinent to their management. Offering a one-stop service prevents coordination issues between the different medical teams, avoids delays or cancellations of the various appointments, optimizes cost-effectiveness, and improves efficiency and parents' satisfaction.
