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

Background: Congenital abnormalities are a major cause of infant mortality, impacting healthcare and quality of life. This study analyzed trends in incidence and mortality from 1990 to 2021 using secondary data. Methods: An ecological study was conducted using the 2021 Global Burden of Disease dataset. Joinpoint regression analysis examined trends, while ArcMap GIS and the Moran I test assessed spatial distribution. Results: Mortality rates declined annually by 6.3% in males and 4.2% in females, while incidence rates decreased by 0.5% and 0.9%, respectively. Hot spots for incidence in 2021 were Sistan and Baluchestan and Khorasan Razavi, while Kerman had the highest neonatal mortality. Conclusion: Incidence and mortality of congenital abnormalities are decreasing in Iran, but eastern provinces remain high-risk areas.
