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

This case report examines a newborn with bilateral postaxial polydactyly type B, delivered by a 42-year-old mother with a history of third-degree consanguinity. The mother, having had no prior live births and one abortion, presented at 39 weeks gestation. The absence of prenatal care is noted, with its potential impact on prenatal diagnosis not assessed. The newborn, a healthy girl, weighed 3400 g with an Apgar score of 9/10. Radiographic and physical examination revealed vestigial sixth digits with rudimentary phalanges, influencing the surgical approach. This report underscores the importance of genetic counseling in cases of consanguinity and illustrates the multidisciplinary strategy necessary for managing polydactyly, from surgical considerations to genetic evaluation.
