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

Fetus in fetu is a rare congenital anomaly that may mimic other suprarenal masses including neuroblastoma, teratoma, or adrenal hemorrhage. We present a case of prenatally detected fetus in fetu recognized at 26 weeks gestation as a cystic suprarenal mass. Serial imaging with fetal ultrasounds and MRI at 29 weeks and follow-up ultrasound at 34 weeks demonstrated progression from a nonspecific cystic mass to a lesion with increasing internal organization. Postnatal MRI demonstrated a vertebral axis, a highly characteristic feature of fetus in fetu, and the diagnosis was confirmed by surgical pathology and postoperative radiography. The infant had an uncomplicated postoperative course. This case highlights the value of serial prenatal imaging in demonstrating progressive organization and eventual recognition of a vertebral axis, assisting in distinction of fetus in fetu from other fetal suprarenal masses and guiding appropriate treatment.
