Critical issue in the identification of Down syndrome and its problems in Central Java, Indonesia: The fact of needing health care and better management.
Article in Intractable & rare diseases research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
We conducted a cross-sectional study to describe the health care problems of children with Down syndrome in Central Java, Indonesia. A total of 162 children (81 boys, 81 girls) with Down syndrome were included. Congenital heart defects and hypothyroidism were found in about 50%, followed by vision and hearing problems in 27.7% and 17.3%, respectively. Almost half of cases were diagnosed after the first month of age. Advanced maternal age was identified in more than 50%, and less than 10% was based on karyotype analysis. This study describes the essential issues such as critical co-morbidities, delayed diagnosis, advanced maternal age, and lack of (accessibility to) genetic testing facilities; thus, better health care and management is needed.
