THE COMPLEX ANOMALY OF THORACO-ABDOMINAL ECTOPIA CORDIS IN IBADAN: MAKING A CASE FOR IMPROVED NHIA COVERAGE: A CASE REPORT.

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
Background: Pentalogy of Cantrell (POC) is a collection of five congenital malformations involving the heart, pericardium, diaphragm, sternum, and anterior abdominal wall. This is a spectrum, and could be incomplete or complete; naked or covered cordis or can be classified based on the location of the heart, and in this index patient-thoraco-abdominal ectopia cordis. We aim to highlight this finding of covered incomplete pentalogy of Cantrell and the peculiarities of management in our sub-region that relies solely on out of pocket payment. Case presentation: A 30-hour old female admitted with history and clinical examination findings in keeping with a covered pentalogy of Cantrell (Thoraco-abdominal ectopia cordis) in a term neonate. Attached is a video link at presentation https://youtu.be/0vQuzq14G9Q. Conclusion: Pentalogy of Cantrell is a complex anomaly. The constraints we encountered in the initial management of this neonate is not uncommon in surgical practice within Nigeria, and other resource constrained countries especially amongst carers of paediatric patients. Other factors at play in our sub-region are ignorance, high rate of illiteracy, superstitious beliefs, and varied cultural practices, and this partly hindered further evaluation of this vulnerable neonate in our sub-region.
