A Case of Crouzon's Syndrome with a True Human Tail.

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.
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
A human tail complicated by Crouzon syndrome is extremely rare, with only eight reported cases of human tails associated with Crouzon syndrome. A human tail is defined as a true human tail or a pseudo-human tail according to the presence or absence of the bone tissue. A 4-year-old boy had a true caudal sacral protrusion from birth and was also diagnosed with Crouzon syndrome. There were no neurological symptoms or vesico-rectal disturbances. The patient underwent a human tail resection at 4 years and 7 months. The postoperative course was uneventful, and there was no recurrence at 6 months postoperatively. Some reports suggested that Crouzon syndrome and the human tail are associated with FGFR2 gene mutation, but the details are currently unknown. Further genetic searches for cases of the combined human tail and Crouzon syndrome in the future are likely to reveal further associations.
