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

backgroundEllis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by chondrodysplasia, postaxial polydactyly, congenital heart defects, and dental abnormalities. Reports of pregnancy in women with EVC syndrome are exceedingly uncommon. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old woman with genetically confirmed EVC syndrome experienced an unplanned pregnancy complicated by fetal growth restriction and elevated umbilical artery Doppler indices. Through multidisciplinary team collaboration, she underwent cesarean delivery at 28 weeks, delivering a live male infant weighing 800 g. The mother had a favorable postpartum recovery. The neonate was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit and was subsequently discharged in stable condition after 80 days of care.

conclusionsPregnancy in women with EVC syndrome is rare and high-risk. Multidisciplinary management involving obstetrics, fetal medicine, critical care, neonatology, anesthesiology, and other specialties is essential to optimize maternal and neonatal outcomes.
