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

This case report presents a patient with a monochorionic twin pregnancy, development of twin-twin transfusion-syndrome (TTTS) and polymicrogyria (PMG) of one fetus. Due to TTTS grade 3, fetoscopic laser ablation was performed at gestational week 16+1. Sonographic follow-up showed a cortical malformation of the right parietal lobe in the former donor, which was identified as PMG by MRI scans. We describe the course of the pregnancy, as well as the clinical, especially neurological, development of the child over 3 years. This case report documents the power of neuroplasticity, leading to comparably good neurological outcome in an extensive, likely acquired cortical malformation. Further, it emphasises the importance of a thorough prenatal imaging characterisation of malformations of cortical development for optimal prenatal counselling of these cases.
