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

We report a case of acrocephalosyndactyly, Pfeiffer syndrome type 1 with a mutation in FGFR2 c.758C>G (p.Ser253Trp) in a newborn with mild midfacial hypoplasia, significant brachydactyly and syndactyly in the hands and feet. One of the hallmark features of Pfeiffer syndrome is webbing or fusion (syndactyly) of the fingers and toes, which can vary in severity affecting both hands and feet. This variable expressivity of Pfeiffer syndrome makes classification of the condition challenging. Diagnosis was confirmed by genetic testing. Imaging investigations, clinical observation and physical examination further highlights the importance of interdisciplinary care involving orthopedic, neurosurgeons, geneticists, and pediatricians. Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor growth and development, while addressing associated complications including hearing loss and tracheal stenosis. This case underscores the complexity of acrocephalosyndactyly and its varying presentation. The baby was born at 35 weeks to non-consanguineous parents, with craniosynostosis, midfacial hypoplasia, broad thumbs, and toes.
