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

Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome is rare. It is diagnosed in childhood and the gender distribution is almost equal. A challenge arises in pregnancy, as several risks are significantly elevated, such as hemorrhage, bleeding of the varicosities, and life-threatening thromboembolic events. Due to the rarity of the condition, there is limited literature and guidelines regarding management of pregnancy for these patients. This report describes a successful pregnancy outcome in a 34-year-old primigravida with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. The aim is to contribute to the limited literature pertaining to this condition and emphasize the role of meticulous planning of antenatal care and birth, to help formulate clinical guidelines in the management of pregnancy in Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. Multidisciplinary comprehensive clinical evaluation, involving obstetricians, vascular surgeons, a thrombosis team, anesthesiologists, intensivists, radiologists and intervention radiologists, along with the use of ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, aids in identifying the extent of disease and to individualize management.
