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

introduction and importancePrune Belly syndrome is a rare congenital condition first reported in 1939. It is a malformative disease associated with high mortality. We report a neonatal case in a regional hospital in Togo. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 4-month-old male infant was brought to the hospital by his uncle because of a "deformity of the abdomen and absence of testicles". The examination revealed hypoplasia of the abdominal wall associated with bilateral cryptorchidism. Abdominal and urinary tract ultrasound revealed a left pyelocaliceal dilatation and a right megaureter. All these data allowed the diagnosis of Prune Belly syndrome.

conclusionPrune Belly syndrome is a rare and complex disease with a high mortality rate.
