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

introductionKartagener's syndrome (KS) is a rare disease characterized by a triad of situs inversus totalis, chronic sinusitis, and bronchiectasis. The disorder is caused by a hereditary genetic abnormality that impairs ciliary movement. Although aberrant pass course of the inferior laryngeal nerves due to visceral inversion should be considered during thyroid surgery in patients with KS, no report of surgical treatment for Graves' disease (GD) in patients with KS has been found to date. CASE PRESENTATION: A Japanese male in his 40s was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment for drug-refractory GD. He was diagnosed to have KS by genetic alteration of the

conclusionWe reported the first case of surgical treatment for GD in a patient with KS and discussed the preoperative diagnosis of NRLN.
