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

Late presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) presents usually after the neonatal period and often misdiagnosed for other respiratory pathologies. It is crucial to differentiate late presentation of CDH from other potential causes of respiratory distress and gastrointestinal symptoms. Herein, we present 2 cases of delayed presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in infants. Initially, both cases were managed as respiratory conditions in outpatient settings, with no significant improvement. The correct diagnosis was eventually made through radiological evaluation at our tertiary centre, leading to successful surgical management. Delayed presentation of CDH beyond the neonatal period is rare, owing to the wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality, making a high index of suspicion essential for timely intervention.
