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

Bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney (MCKD) is a rare, fatal congenital anomaly with multiple non-communicating renal cysts and absent parenchyma, often linked to other malformations. A 27-year-old gravida 4, para 3 woman at 28 weeks gestation, without prior antenatal care, presented with parotiditis. Ultrasound revealed bilateral enlarged kidneys (right: 7.49 × 4.78 cm; left: 8.25 × 4.68 cm) with multiple cysts, minimal parenchyma, severe oligohydramnios, and associated anomalies including posterior urethral valves, cardiomegaly, and ventriculomegaly. Bilateral MCKD is incompatible with life, detectable from 18 to 28 weeks, showing the value of routine anomaly scans.
