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

Background: Ectopia cordis (EC) is a rare congenital condition in which the heart is partially or completely displaced outside the thoracic cavity. This abnormality is most commonly recognized in humans but has also been observed in dogs, cats, cattle, pigs, and goats. However, it has not been documented in camelids. Case Description: This case report describes the case of a neonatal camel calf born in rural Wad Ashana, North Kordofan, Sudan, who presented with EC. The heart was located in its pericardium outside the thoracic cavity, at the most ventral aspect of the cervical region. The heart exhibited a normal morphology and a normal heartbeat. Despite the absence of any additional malformations, the calf died 2 days after delivery. Conclusion: This case is the first documented instance of EC in camels from Sudan and offers important information for veterinary literature on congenital anomalies.
