Diagnostic distinction between anencephaly and amnion rupture sequence based on skeletal analysis.
Article in Journal of medical genetics, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
The axial skeletal development of eight second trimester aborted fetuses, clinically diagnosed as amnion rupture sequence with cranial involvement, was examined radiographically and histologically. Three of the eight fetuses showed axial skeletal malformation in the spine and the craniofacial skeleton corresponding to the malformations seen in anencephaly. These are vertebral body malformations, consisting of double corpora and of osseous malformations in the components of the cranial base, the corpus of the occipital bone, and the postsphenoid bone. These types of malformation, which have previously been described, are located along the original course of the notochord. The findings show that it is possible by means of radiography of the axial skeleton to distinguish between anencephalic fetuses which become secondarily involved in amnion rupture and fetuses which were initially normally developed. The method supplements detailed fetal examination and provides important information for genetic counselling.
