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

backgroundAnorectal malformations (ARMs) are a common pediatric surgical problem with an incidence of 1:1500 to 1:5000 live births. The phenotypical spectrum extends from anal stenosis to imperforate anus with or without anal fistula to persistent cloaca. They can manifest as either non-syndromic or syndromic conditions. Various environmental and genetic risk factors have been elucidated. The widespread use of genetic screening tests for the investigation of developmental disorders increased the recognition of copy number variants (CNVs) of the 1q21.1 region. Duplications have also been associated with a multitude of congenital anomalies, such as heart disease, short stature, scoliosis, urogenital, and ARMs, and they have also been found in healthy individuals. The aim of this manuscript is to contribute to the definition of the phenotype associated with 1q21.1 duplications. CASE PRESENTATION: The present case describes a male, referred to us for an ARM, in whom array-comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) identified 1q21.1 duplication inherited from his healthy mother. No other genetic test was performed on the patient.

conclusionsWe propose considering genetic evaluation and analysis in patients with only one congenital malformation in order to eventually make an early diagnosis and a better quality of treatments.
