From Caudal Regression to Wieacker-Wolff Syndrome: The Decisive Role of Postmortem Examination and Exome Sequencing in Revising a Prenatal Diagnosis.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Prenatal detection of bilateral clubfoot should prompt a systematic evaluation for associated anomalies, particularly sacral defects and other lower-limb malformations. Arthrogryposis must also be considered in the differential diagnosis. Importantly, prenatal imaging should be complemented by postnatal assessments, which may, as in the present case, uncover a misdiagnosis with major implications for future pregnancies. This case report illustrated how detailed postnatal investigations led to the revision of an initial diagnosis of caudal regression syndrome to the final, exceptionally rare diagnosis of Wieacker-Wolff Syndrome. Such diagnostic correction carries substantial consequences for genetic counseling. Wieacker-Wolff syndrome, also referred to as intellectual disability, developmental delay, and contractures syndrome, is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by arthrogryposis and intellectual disability. It is inherited in an X-linked manner, either dominant or recessive, and is caused by pathogenic variants in the
