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

Introduction: Anorectal malformations (ARM) consist of a range of anomalies that occur in approximately 3.5 in 10,000 live births. Though variable, about half of these patients present with an associated genitourinary abnormality. Considering this high prevalence, this study aimed to assess the specific occurrence of urogenital anomalies in patients with anorectal malformations. Methods: An institution-based observational study was conducted on 156 patients with anorectal malformation, all of whom were screened for urogenital anomalies. Data were collected using a pre-structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS (IBM) Version 26 software. Relevant statistical analysis was performed, and the results are presented in tables. Results and discussion: Of the 156 patients with ARM studied for associated urogenital anomalies, 91 (58.3%) were females with a male-to-female ratio of 0.7:1 and a median age of 12 months (IQR = 1-24). Forty-six of them (29.5%) had urogenital anomalies, of whom 22 (14.1%) had isolated urologic anomalies and 20 (12.8%) had both urologic and genital anomalies. Renal anomalies were found in 34 (21.8%) patients. The association between gender and genital anomalies was significant,
