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

backgroundLung agenesis is a rare congenital malformation. The combination of lung agenesis, congenital heart defects, and thumb anomalies characterizes LACHT syndrome, an extremely rare condition with an unclear genetic basis. To date, only 15 cases have been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a new case of LACHT syndrome and review previously published cases of this rare association. Our patient was a three-month-old female infant who presented with the typical features of LACHT syndrome and an associated ipsilateral branchial cleft cyst, which has not been previously reported in patients with this syndrome.

conclusionThis previously unreported association expands the clinical spectrum of LACHT syndrome and highlights the importance of careful evaluation for additional congenital anomalies in affected patients.
