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

Two female siblings with the fetal akinesia deformation sequence (FADS) are described. Both showed facial anomalies, arthrogrypotic extremities, hypoplastic lungs, and fetal growth retardation. The central nervous system of the second sibling, including the spinal cord, was normal. The skeletal muscle was studied by immunohistochemistry for the expression of several myosin heavy chain isoforms, M-band proteins and intermediate filament proteins. The skeletal muscle was immature and atypical muscle spindles containing up to 31 intrafusal fibers were found. These findings suggest that a lethal FADS phenotype may involve a maturation defect of the skeletal muscle, and, in this family, may be inherited in a recessive fashion.
