Ectopia cordis with multiple ventricular septal defect and sternal cleft in a newborn: a case report.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Ectopia cordis is a rare type of malformation where the heart is not located normally. It may be partially or completely located outside the thoracic cavity and can be associated with other congenital abnormalities. Case presentation: This case report is of a 34-week- and 6-day-old female fetus with a birth weight of 2040 g, a height of 41 cm, and a head circumference of 32 cm. The initial physical examination revealed a responsive newborn with an externalized heart outside the chest, with pericardium protection. In addition, a thoracic wall defect was detected suggesting incomplete formation of the septum bone. Moreover, in this case, the echocardiography report showed a multiple ventricular septal defect. Conclusion: The management of ectopia cordis is a challenge for any obstetrician and pediatric surgeon due to its rarity. It causes mental agony and anxiety to the parents. With an early diagnosis, termination of pregnancy can be one of the options. Once it is diagnosed late, it needs a multidisciplinary approach, and the services of a very experienced pediatric surgeon to improve the prognosis.
