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

Introduction: Polymelia is the presence of supernumerary limbs attached to a segment of the body. It occurs in about 6/10,000 live births with 1.1/10,000 cases involving the lower limbs. It has a heterogeneous pathogenesis including incomplete separation of monozygotic twins. Case Report: A 5-month-old baby with polymelia associated with ectopic right kidney, anorectal agenesis with a rectovaginal fistula, and right corneal opacity, delivered through cesarean section at 37 weeks, 3-day gestation to a 38-year-old mother. There were no known predisposing factors. Conclusion: In the management of polymelia, a thorough clinical and radiological assessment to identify additional anomalies is critical, and early surgical intervention is safe and optimizes survival.
