Prevalence of Congenital Malformations in the Oriental Region of Morocco.
Article in Cureus, 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
This retrospective study conducted at the Mohammed VI University Hospital Center in Oujda analyzed clinically visible congenital malformations among neonates admitted over a one-year period. The maternal age profile predominantly included young adults, with a significant proportion of cases linked to consanguinity, highlighting a potential genetic contribution to the occurrence of these anomalies. Most malformations were diagnosed after birth, with congenital heart defects representing the most frequent anomaly, followed by major digestive malformations such as anal atresia and omphalocele. Cases involving multiple malformations were also documented. The neonatal outcomes revealed a concerning mortality rate, reflecting the severity of these congenital conditions. These findings emphasize the urgent need to strengthen prenatal screening programs, implement a national registry for congenital malformations, and enhance public health interventions focused on prevention and early diagnosis to improve neonatal prognosis and reduce morbidity and mortality in this region.
