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

Duplication of the pituitary gland is a rare anomaly with variable associated craniofacial malformations (duplicated pituitary gland plus syndrome). Thus far, malformations have only been reported in the craniofacial structures, central nervous system (CNS), and spine. This report illustrates a severe case with additional, previously unreported body features including anomalies of the lungs, heart, liver, spleen, and abdominal vasculature. A description of this case will aid in comprehensive diagnosis of anomalies in patients with duplicated pituitary gland plus syndrome. Moreover, this case may improve understanding of the etiology of this rare disorder and its embryological underpinnings.
