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 the case of a male infant born at 37 weeks and 4 days of gestation with a birth weight of 3396 g. He presented with hypotonia, congenital heart disease, heterotaxy and polydactyly. Based on physical examination and brain MRI, which revealed the characteristic molar tooth sign, he was diagnosed with Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRD). He experienced repeated episodes of atelectasis, making extubation challenging. Electron microscopy revealed ciliary structural abnormalities, leading to the diagnosis of primary ciliary dyskinesia as well as JSRD. Despite multiple medical interventions and two surgical procedures for heart failure, he died at 10 months old due to progressing chronic heart failure and pulmonary infections.This report presents the course leading to the diagnosis of ciliary dysfunction-associated multiple malformations, based on the diverse symptoms. Furthermore, we discuss the potential risk of postoperative complications associated with ciliary dysfunction.
