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

Caudal Duplication Syndrome is an extremely rare congenital malformation in which structures derived from notochord and embryonic cloaca are duplicated to a variable extent. We report a case of 6-year-old female who presented with complete lower gastrointestinal and genitourinary duplication, large omphalocele, and spinal dysraphism. Bladder unification was performed due to left sided urethral hypoplasia and excision of left sided less developed duplicated gut. Patient is now on medical management due to voiding dysfunction. This case highlights complexity of diagnosis and management challenges in these anomalies and underscores importance of individualized and multidisciplinary management.
