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

Primary closure is a low-risk option for small omphaloceles (SOs). However, despite the absence of liver herniation and limited volume of herniated viscera, we encountered two cases of postoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) and respiratory failure after closure for SO. This report discusses the safety of primary closure and potential factors that may be associated with postoperative PH in infants with SOs. Cases 1 and 2 presented with SOs without chromosomal abnormalities or liver herniation (gestational ages 36 and 37 weeks, birth weights 3,650 and 2,577 g, and defect sizes 4 and 2 cm, respectively). Prenatal ultrasonography showed no evidence of oligohydramnios in either case, and chest radiography was negative for chest wall deformity at birth. Primary closure was performed within 24 hours of birth after stabilization, defined as venous blood gas values without hypoxia/CO
