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

introductionIntrathoracic kidney (ITK) is a rare renal ectopia often diagnosed incidentally. It is infrequently detected prenatally and frequently coexists with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, a rare clinical combination with limited reported cases.

methodsA retrospective case series was conducted of prenatally diagnosed ITK with congenital diaphragmatic hernia at a tertiary fetal medicine center over 6 years. Data included prenatal imaging, genetic studies, fetal interventions, delivery, surgical management, and long-term outcomes.

resultsFour male fetuses with ITK and diaphragmatic hernia were identified, comprising 1.3% of congenital diaphragmatic hernia cases. Seventy-five percent had undescended testes prenatally, and two had severe right-sided hernias managed with fetoscopic tracheal occlusion. All kidneys were ipsilateral to the defect. Postnatal surgical management preserved renal function in all cases. Genetic analysis revealed one de novo pathogenic mutation.

conclusionPrenatal identification of an ITK associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, although rare, holds clinical significance. The anomaly appears positional without worsening prognosis. Coordinated multidisciplinary care leads to favorable outcomes.
