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

Heterotaxy syndrome is characterized by abnormal left-right arrangement of thoracoabdominal organs and is frequently associated with complex cardiac anomalies. However, cases with predominant extracardiac manifestations are increasingly recognized. This report describes a 20-year-old female of North African descent with consanguineous parentage, who presented with chronic cough and exertional dyspnea persisting over several years. Clinical examination, biochemical analyses, and vital signs were unremarkable, and there was no reported history of environmental exposures or tuberculosis. Pulmonary function testing revealed severe airway obstruction, reversible with bronchodilators. Imaging studies demonstrated a diffuse bronchiolitis pattern, an enlarged azygos vein, and polysplenia. Abdominal CT (computed tomography) revealed an interrupted inferior vena cava with azygos continuation, an enlarged left liver, a multinodular spleen, and distal pancreatic atrophy. Methicillin-resistant
