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

The megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome (MMIHS), also known as Berdon syndrome, is a rare congenital condition that falls within the spectrum of visceral myopathies. It is characterized by the presence of megacystis, microcolon, and hypoperistalsis, which are secondary to gastrointestinal and urinary system dysmotility. It is frequently associated with other alterations in the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Although it is possible to make the diagnosis in the prenatal period, most cases are diagnosed after birth through genetic and imaging studies. Advances in treatment have led to a progressive increase in survival rates. We present the case of a newborn with congenital alterations described prenatally and with imaging findings characteristic of the syndrome.
