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

Williams syndrome is a rare genetic disorder occurring in approximately 1 in 7500 individuals. The condition occurs as a result of deletions within chromosome 7q11.23, manifesting a unique phenotype with a wide constellation of symptoms. In this report of two cases, we present the care of two early-term infants with Williams syndrome. The first infant was noted to have bilateral paralysis of the vocal folds and required multidisciplinary care that ultimately mandated home tracheostomy and gastrostomy tube usage, while the second had unilateral vocal cord paralysis and similarly needed continued gastrostomy tube usage and feeding therapy. This dysfunction of the vocal folds was thought to have occurred due to the deletion of the gene region involving elastin, resulting in these atypical findings that increased the complexity of care of these patients. We document the clinical courses of these patients and their treatment regimens.
