A familial case of VACTERL association with co-occurring sacrococcygeal teratoma: a case report.
Article in Oxford medical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundVACTERL association is a rare disorder characterized by a non-random co-occurrence of multiple congenital anomalies. Reported incidences of VACTERL are usually sporadic. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we present a case of familial VACTERL association in a male infant born full term at 38 weeks of gestation. The infant's maternal aunt also had significant features of VACTERL association but died in the first year of life. Due to the lack of specialized expertise and absence of detailed anomaly scans, the congenital anomalies were not detected prenatally. The baby also had a very rare co-occurrence of sacrococcygeal teratoma.
conclusionSkillful personnel and equipment to detect the anomalies in-utero and the use of modern DNA sequencing techniques to detect the possible underlying genetic defects can help us better understand the pathophysiology of various congenital disorders. Early diagnosis is crucial for optimizing management strategies and counselling parents regarding potential outcomes.
