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

Dandy-Walker syndrome (DWS) is usually identified prenatally or after hydrocephalus-related symptoms emerge. We report a term male neonate in whom classic DWS was incidentally discovered during admission for purpura and mild tachypnea. Although fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) had suggested vermian agenesis, definitive postnatal brain MRI on day 6 confirmed complete vermian absence, left cerebellar hypoplasia, and a large posterior-fossa cyst communicating with the fourth ventricle. The purpura and respiratory symptoms resolved rapidly with supportive care, and the infant was discharged with full oral feeding at 7 days. This case highlights the need to revisit prenatal imaging when neonates present with seemingly unrelated problems; early postnatal confirmation enables timely family counseling, developmental surveillance, and multidisciplinary follow-up.
