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

objectivesTo review the types of upper limb congenital differences in patients seen in a tertiary hospital in Jordan and to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oberg-Manske-Tonkin (OMT) system.

methodsThe medical charts and the X-rays of 222 patients with upper limb congenital differences were reviewed. All these cases were categorized using the OMT classification system.

resultsA careful review of the medical charts identified 222 patients with 295 upper extremity anomalies. The prevalence was 45/10000 patients. The mean age of the patients was 6.18±5.5 years, with a higher prevalence in males 54.1%. most cases were malformations 176 (79%) and of these the radial polydactyly was the most common (18.5%). A total of 28 cases of dysplasia were identified. A total of 15 (6.7%) patients were diagnosed with syndromes, of which Poland syndrome showed the highest frequency at 2.3% of the total. The least presentation was for the deformation anomalies (1.4%).

conclusionThe malformation category constituted most of the congenital upper extremity difference in this study. Radial polydactyly was the most common in this category. Considering the regional differences, the need for a well-established healthcare infrastructure is a vital step toward managing and improving the outcomes of these patients.
