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

introductionEncephalocele is a congenital malformation of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by the protrusion of neural tissue through a cranial defect. The frontonasal variant has a reported incidence of approximately 0.8 to 3 cases per 10,000 live births, making it a rare condition. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a newborn girl prenatally diagnosed with a giant nasofrontal encephalocele without associated pathologies. Following complementary studies for surgical planning, she underwent surgery at 72 h of life, performed by a multidisciplinary team, to prevent significant functional sequelae and promote normal growth and development.

conclusionNasofrontal encephalocele is a rare type of neural tube defect, posing a significant challenge for the interdisciplinary team responsible for its management.
