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

Objectives: This study aimed to conduct an anthropometric analysis of children with microcephaly caused by Zika virus infection and to compare results with those of a control group. Materials and Methods: The study included 12 children with congenital microcephaly (experimental group) and 15 normosystemic children (control group), all aged 4-5 years. Eight anthropometric facial points were marked to assess the upper, middle, and lower thirds of the face. Statistics: To assess normality, the Shapiro-Wilk test was used, followed by the Student's Results: Orofacial anthropometric measurements showed that upper lip measurements and upper-to-lower lip ratios were higher in the experimental group than in the control group; however, only upper lip variables showed statistically significant differences (
