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

backgroundIntrauterine parvovirus B19 infection usually causes fetal anemia, hydrops, and stillbirth. Less commonly, central nervous system injuries have also been described. CASE PRESENTATION: We report an atypical case of severe brain injury with diffuse malformation of cortical development and severely immature gyration in a preterm infant with profound fetal anemia and hydrops due to congenital parvovirus B19 infection. The fetus was treated with multiple intrauterine transfusions. Postnatal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed extensive encephalomalacia with severe volume loss of both hemispheres, associated with a deranged, markedly immature gyration.

conclusionThis case provides the first description of severe delay in brain maturation in intrauterine parvovirus B19 infection and represents evidence of a possible teratogenic effect of parvovirus B19 on the brain tissue.
