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

3M syndrome is a rarely inherited autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in cullin-7 (CUL7), obscurin-like 1 (OBSL1), and coiled-coil domain containing protein 8 (CCDC8). It is associated with multiple dysmorphic features, including characteristic facial dysmorphism (a face that is triangular, full lips, frontal bossing, a nasal tip that is fleshy, long philtrum, protruding ears and macrocephaly), severe growth retardation prenatally and postnatally and normal intelligence. Although there are multiple skeletal manifestations of the syndrome, such as joint laxity, there is no mention of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) to be associated with it anywhere in the literature. Therefore, we present the first case of bilateral DDH in a patient with 3M syndrome, which was managed similarly to other DDH cases with operative reduction, pelvic osteotomies, and femoral shortening, with a satisfactory outcome after 3 years of follow-up.
