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

In children with anorectal malformations (ARMs), it is essential to have a diagnostic imaging method that helps with the evaluation of the internal anatomy. In patients with a persistent cloaca, an ARM variant, in which the measurement of the urethral channel and common channel determines surgical management, there are multiple options for imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an excellent method for this purpose, from which accurate measurements of channel length can be obtained. Additionally, the use of volumetric/isotropic sequences allows multiplanar reformatting. We present our experience with pelvic MRI and intracavitary non-paramagnetic contrast (MR genitography). This method uses volumetric T2-weighted images and the instillation of saline solution as a contrast agent to distinguish the common channel, length of the urethra, anatomy of the vagina, and presence and location of the rectal fistula. We believe this technique to be particularly useful for those working in settings with limited MRI resources.
