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

Poland syndrome (PS) is a rare, non-hereditary congenital malformation characterized primarily by hypoplasia or absence of the pectoralis major muscle on one side. Key clinical manifestations include hypoplasia of the breast and nipple on the same side, which may be accompanied by hand deformities on the same side. In extremely rare cases, the syndrome affects the ribs, leading to rib hypoplasia and resulting in ipsilateral diaphragmatic displacement. The pathogenesis is likely related to disruption of the subclavian artery blood supply during embryonic development. Prenatal diagnosis of this syndrome is extremely difficult, and there are very few reports in the literature. This article presents a case report of fetal diaphragmatic herniation caused by rib hypoplasia, with the aim of exploring the feasibility of prenatal diagnosis for this rare syndrome.
