Dichorionic Diamniotic Twin Anencephaly and Exencephaly.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We present a rare case of dichorionic diamniotic twin anencephaly and exencephaly discovered in a 35-year-old female at 13.1 weeks of gestation. Anencephaly and exencephaly are neural tube defects (NTD) with devastating consequences caused by the failure of the anterior neural groove closure leading to exencephaly, followed by brain disintegration causing anencephaly. While NTD themselves are common congenital anomalies, their presence in both twins of a dichorionic diamniotic gestation is exceedingly rare and has only been documented in one other instance. The uncertainty surrounding risk factors involved in this specific case underscores the importance of ongoing research to elucidate other potential determinants in the pathogenesis of NTD and to discover novel preventive strategies, particularly in twin pregnancies. Future research endeavors should explore the interplay of genetic, environmental, and other anomalous factors to deepen our understanding and improve clinical outcomes for affected pregnancies.
