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

objectiveSurvival outcomes are shifting in trisomy 18 as cardiac disease is being repaired in infancy reminiscent of trisomy 21. The landscape of prenatal counseling related to cardiac disease and trisomy 18 is unknown. STUDY

designA survey was distributed to pediatric cardiologists presenting two scenarios of cardiac disease varying by genetic diagnosis: trisomy 18 vs 21. Respondents were asked if cardiac surgery would be offered and ranked the importance of various factors in decision-making.

resultSixty three percent described surgery as an option in trisomy 18 compared to 97% in trisomy 21. Genetic diagnosis was most important in trisomy 18 compared to neonatal survival in trisomy 21. Quality of life and survival to discharge were least important in trisomy 18 compared to genetic diagnosis in trisomy 21.

conclusionSignificant variability in prenatal counseling exists for trisomy 18. Indecision may be influenced by the genetic diagnosis, survival, and quality of life.
