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

The defining features of the upper limb congenital anomaly, radial dysplasia (RD), involve both skeletal and soft tissue malformation, including muscle, vascular, and neural structures, with varying degrees of severity. Herein, we summarise the range of soft tissue anatomy malformations that have been described in RD, with the objective of better understanding their aetiology and clinical significance. Changes to muscle anatomy can include hypoplasia and fusion; vascular defects often involve persistent median arteries and absent radial arteries. There are also consistent differences in neural projections that have consequences on surgical approaches. Understanding these changes from normal anatomy, their origins and variations is important for improving diagnosis, management, and surgical outcomes in RD.
