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

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) is a rare pathology characterized by elevation of the hemidiaphragm resulting from abnormal development of diaphragmatic musculature. Its clinical and radiographic presentation can closely mimic more common and more immediately dangerous neonatal conditions. Although the reported laterality of CDE varies among published series, we present a male neonate with respiratory distress initially suspected to have congenital pneumonia or sepsis who was subsequently diagnosed with right-sided CDE. Diagnosis was established after escalation of imaging techniques, requiring high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest to distinguish CDE from other pathologies. The patient was initially managed medically; however, surgical intervention was required to correct the underlying cause. This case addresses the importance of advanced cross-sectional imaging techniques in accurately identifying CDE and its laterality, thereby distinguishing it from its more common mimics.
