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

backgroundCongenital transverse deficiencies are horizontal deficiencies of the long bones that occur with a reported incidence as high 0.38%. They can occur alone or represent a manifestation of a various clinical syndromes. Diagnosis has traditionally comprised of conventional radiography and prenatal imaging studies. There has been much advancement regarding prenatal imaging modalities to allow for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

aimTo summarize the current state of knowledge on congenital transverse limb deficiencies and to provide an update regarding the radiographic evaluation of congenital transverse limb deficiencies.

methodsThis IRB-exempt scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR checklist for scoping reviews strictly. Five search engines were searched for a total of 265 publications. Four authors reviewed these during the screening process. Of these, 51 studies were included in our article. Prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 3D Ultrasound, and multidetector Computed tomography (CT) exist are emerging modalities that have the potential to improve diagnosis.

resultsUse of the appropriate classification system, three-dimensional ultrasonography with a maximum intensity projection, and appropriate use of prenatal MRI and prenatal CT can improve diagnosis and inter-provider communication.

conclusionFurther scholarly efforts are required to develop improve standardized guidelines regarding the pre-natal radiographic evaluation of congenital limb deficiencies.
