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 on three sibs born to healthy parents, one livebirth and two terminated pregnancies, presenting with a malformation complex characterised by conotruncal heart defect (CTHD), microphthalmia, genital anomalies, and facial dysmorphism. The recurrence of the association of CTHD, particularly truncus arteriosus, and microphthalmia in sibs has previously been reported in rare instances, but a correlation between the single descriptions has never been noted. CTHDs are included among the cardiac malformations characteristically associated with the group of syndromes caused by the microdeletion of chromosome 22q11, but no detectable hemizygosity has been found in our family. An autosomal recessive gene seems to be involved in syndromic patients with the combination of CTHD and microphthalmia. The map location of this gene is at present unknown, but autosomal recessive inheritance must be considered in genetic counselling of families with children presenting with this malformation complex.
