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

Polydactyly is a common congenital malformation of the hand and foot characterized by an extra digit or duplication of digits. Polydactyly can present as preaxial, complex, or postaxial types. It has various presentations, and it can be an isolated anomaly or part of other diseases or syndromic conditions. Incidences are more common in European and Asian descent. The first line of treatment commonly practiced is surgery to create an aesthetically normal functioning hand. In this report, we present a case of bilateral hand polydactyly in a 2-year 6-month-old boy of Asian descent. No other abnormalities or malformations were observed elsewhere in his body. He is otherwise a healthy boy with no family history of malformations. The pattern is not consistent with any syndromic disease. He subsequently underwent surgical resection of the extra digits and a follow-up review showed normal function of the hands without contracture and other complications of the surgical site.
