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

Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a complex forebrain congenital malformation with widely variable outcomes. It represents a disorder of ventral induction, which begins in the fifth gestational week. Its main feature is forebrain cleavage failure, which prevents the brain complete division into right and left hemispheres, the normal development of midline structures, and the deep brain structure. Based on the severity of prosencephalic cleavage failure, three classic forms (lobar, semilobar, and alobar) were described, and subsequently, interhemispheric variant (syntelencephaly) and septopreoptic variants were proposed. This review proposes a practical imaging approach to diagnosing HPE spectrum disorders, allowing an easier recognition and earlier diagnosis, which is essential for prenatal care and adequate parental counseling. In addition, we intend to simplify the understanding of HPE through a didactic discussion, schematic illustrations, and descriptions of each entity's current classification and critical neuroimaging features, as well as the main differential diagnosis of HPE.
