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

Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the complete mirror-image transposition of the thoracoabdominal viscera. Although typically it has a favorable prognosis, SIT can be associated with ciliopathy-related disorders, most notably Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD). Consequently, challenges persist in the prenatal detection and subsequent genetic counseling for this condition. We present the case of a fetus diagnosed with Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT) via routine prenatal ultrasound and subsequent fetal echocardiography. Chromosomal Microarray (CMA) results were unremarkable, yet Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) revealed compound heterozygous pathogenic variants in the DNAH11 gene, inherited from each parent. Notably, no other structural malformations were detected. Following comprehensive counseling, the family opted for termination of pregnancy at 35 weeks' gestation. No postnatal examination (autopsy) was performed. This case underscores the critical role of detailed imaging, comprehensive genetic testing, and multidisciplinary team (MDT) counseling in the prenatal evaluation of Situs Inversus Totalis (SIT).
