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.
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
objectiveWilliams syndrome is caused by a microdeletion at 7q11.23 and is characterized by a distinctive face, cardiovascular disease, and intellectual disability with a specific cognitive and behavioral profile. This study aims to evaluate the clinical features and obtain important information that can guide early diagnoses and correct follow-up. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe study included 78 patients whose diagnoses were confirmed by fluorescent in situ hybridization. Facial features, anthropometric measurements, and neurocognitive, endocrine, and urinary system evaluations were obtained from the medical records, and photographs of the patients were evaluated retrospectively.
resultsThe most common complaints at admission were cardiovascular disease and atypical face. The mean age at admission was 39 ± 4.8 months. The mean age of patients presenting with atypical face was 41 ± 5.6 months, while it was 11 ± 3.1 months in patients presenting with cardiovascular disease. Short nose/bulbous nasal type with anteverted nares and periorbital fullness, which are diagnostic facial features, were present in all patients in the infantile/ early childhood period. 80% of the patients had cardiovascular disease; supravalvular aortic stenosis (53.8%) and peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (41%) were the most common cardiac anomalies.Intel lectu al/de velop menta l disability was present in 75.6% of the patients. Behavioral disorders including autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were detected in 50% of our patients. Hypersensitivity to loud and/or sudden sounds was present in all patients.
conclusionWe highlighted that recognition of facial findings is important for early diagnosis, especially in patients without cardiovascular disease. The frequency of cardiovascular, endocrinological, renal anomalies, and intellectual disab ility /deve lopme ntal delay was described that provide valuable information in the follow-up of patients.
