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

Congenital isolated 'H-type' tracheoesophageal fistula (TOF) is a rare disorder which is difficult to diagnose. Clinical presentation is characterised by a triad consisting of paroxysmal coughing and cyanosis during feeds; recurrent chest infections and failure to thrive; and abdominal distention secondary to gaseous loading of the bowel. It is often difficult to diagnose 'H-type' TOF because the continuity of the oesophagus is not interrupted. The diagnosis is often missed or delayed, leading to complications such as chronic lung disease and failure to thrive.
