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

Postaxial or ulnar polydactyly is the most common form of polydactyly that may present with the duplication of soft-tissue structures only or with additional bony involvement. Surgical excision is the only viable treatment option for postaxial polydactyly with bony involvement, and psychological or cosmetic reasons are the main rationale for treatment. Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (EVC) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by chondral and ectodermal dysplasia, particularly postaxial polydactyly. The exact prevalence of EVC is unknown, and fewer than 300 cases have been reported. We present a case of a 2-year-old Hispanic female with EVC who presented with bilateral postaxial polydactyly and complete duplication of the metacarpal and phalanges. We describe the presentation and treatment of this patient, who ultimately underwent staged resection of the duplicated digits with reconstruction of the abductor muscle.
