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

An omphalocele is an abdominal wall defect characterized by absent abdominal muscles, fascia, and skin. Omphaloceles are frequently associated with chromosomal anomalies (∼50% risk) and malformations, as well as an increased risk of feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, reflux, and bowel obstruction. Management of omphaloceles will inevitably involve surgical closure of the defect, with a variety of potential approaches depending on the institution, defect size, and the associated findings. This case report discusses the outcomes of the multimodal surgical approach used to repair a prenatally diagnosed complex, giant omphalocele in a newborn. The uncommon cystic quality of the defect and the anatomical changes during reduction required multiple techniques to successfully close the defect in a short period of time.
