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

Anorectal malformations (ARM)being the common congenital anomalies occurring in 1 in 4000-5000 newborns. Associated recto urethral fistula being the most common in males and recto vestibular fistula being the common in females. Hence ARMs require staged surgical procedures. 50-60 % of ARMs have associated systemic anomalies including gastrointestinal tract. Association of ARM with Meckel's diverticulum has not been described in literature so far and its use as a replacement for vagina is altogether a rarity.
