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

We report the case of a 33-week-old female fetus born with craniorachischisis to a gravida 5, para 4 (3104) mother with no previous history of conceiving a child with a neural tube defect. Craniorachischisis is characterized by anencephaly and an open defect extending from the brain to the spine and is the most severe and fatal type of neural tube defect. Although the cause of neural tube defects is hypothesized to be multifactorial and is usually sporadic, the risk is increased in neonates born to mothers with a family history or a previous pregnancy with neural tube defect, both of which are not present in the index case. This case is unique in that only during the fifth pregnancy did the couple conceive a child with a neural tube defect, emphasizing that folic acid supplementation, the sole preventive measure proven to decrease the risk of neural tube defects, remains to be important in the periconceptual period for all women of childbearing age.
