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

Background and objectives: Congenital contractural arachnodactyly (CCA) is a rare autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder, and Case presentation: The proband exhibited the Marfanoid habitus with a height of 121 cm (> + 3 SD), a weight of 16 kg (-2 SD ∼-1 SD), arachnodactyly, and long bone overgrowth. He had joint contractures in the 2nd ∼ 5th fingers of bilateral hands and 2nd and 5th toes of the left foot. His mother and grandmother also presented arachnodactyly and arachnodactyly. They were confirmed to be affected with CCA. Results: A novel heterozygous missense variant in the exon 30 of Conclusion: We descripted a CCA family and identified a novel
