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

We report a series of five patients with congenital heart defects in whom a prenatal diagnosis of 22q11 deletion has been made. The accurate cardiac and cytogenetic diagnoses were made between 20 and 23 weeks' gestation in all cases and the cardiac findings were all confirmed postnatally. The cardiac abnormalities included tetralogy of Fallot with absent pulmonary valve, pulmonary atresia with VSD, common arterial trunk, and left atrial isomerism with double outlet right ventricle. The problems of genetic counselling in these cases are discussed. A recommendation is made to test all fetuses with conotruncal heart abnormalities detected prenatally for a 22q11 deletion, whereas guidelines for other congenital heart disease types are less clear.
