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

Alobar holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a severe developmental abnormality of the fetal brain. It can also be associated with major facial abnormalities. We report a case diagnosed during a routine ultrasound scan at 22 weeks of pregnancy in a 26-year-old G2P1L1 woman. Ultrasound showed a single ventricular cavity, an absent interhemispheric fissure and falx cerebri, and fused thalami. Facial examination showed a single median orbit and a midline proboscis, consistent with cyclopia. No other structural abnormalities were seen. After counseling about the severe nature and poor prognosis of the condition, the pregnancy was terminated at 23 weeks. This case highlights the importance of examining the fetal face when alobar HPE is suspected on ultrasound.
