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

A blind study was designed to test the hypothesis that some persons with a relatively rare cardiac malformation, pulmonary atresia with ventriculoseptal defect (PA/VSD), have a recognisable phenotype. Fourteen patients with cyanotic congenital heart lesions were examined by dysmorphologists blinded to the type of cardiac malformation. Six children were judged to have a similar craniofacial appearance; all had PA/VSD. These children were not originally considered to fall within the classic phenotypes of the DiGeorge sequence or the velocardiofacial syndrome, both of which have been shown to be associated with deletions of 22q11. More recently, 22q11 deletions have been documented in the conotruncal anomaly face syndrome and apparently isolated conotruncal heart defects. A new acronym, CATCH 22 syndrome (Cardiac defects, Abnormal facies, Thymic hypoplasia, Cleft palate, and Hypocalcaemia) has been suggested to encompass this very broad phenotypic spectrum. A preliminary molecular study was conducted using the dinucleotide repeat D22S264 located on chromosome 22q11.2. All cases tested with the subtle but recognisable phenotype had deletions, all lacking the maternal contribution at this locus, suggesting there may be a parent of origin effect.
