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

Urorectal septum malformation sequence (URSMS) is a rare congenital anomaly featuring severe genitourinary and gastrointestinal malformations. We report a neonate with complete URSMS, characterized by complete penoscrotal transposition, a hypoplastic phallus without urethral opening, and an imperforate anus. Laboratory evaluation revealed an elevated serum creatinine of 2.47 mg/dL. Intraoperatively, the rectum and urethra formed a common channel at the phallic base. Anoplasty and urethrostomy were performed. Postoperatively, the infant was anuric and ultrasound confirmed bilateral multicystic dysplastic kidney. Recognition of URSMS is important for accurate diagnosis, surgical planning, and counselling regarding prognosis.
