The article is fairly neutral. There are no claims that are heavily biased towards a particular position, or directed with a certain point of view. The content is not divided evenly between the many sub-headings; there is more information for certain types of open NTDs (e.g. anencephaly, encephaloceles, iniencephaly and spina bifida) in comparison to closed NTDs and more information about surgical treatment. In addition, in the “causes” section, the article is framed to focus on metabolic and environmental risk factors associated with NTD. A few viewpoints are underrepresented or overrepresented depending on sub-heading. In the causes section, there is little to no material on other risk factors associated with NTD, including poorly controlled diabetes and certain anti-seizure medication, obesity, family history of NTDs. The link to folic acid is highly overrepresented in comparison to the information on these other risk factors. Further, there was an overrepresentation of open NTDs in comparison to closed NTDs. Within open NTDs there is a less information on hydranencephaly in comparison to the other open NTDs. In diagnosis, there is underrepresentation of other values that are important in maternal screening e.g. hCG and estriol. Lastly, in the treatment section, treatment options specific for each type of open NTD are underrepresented. For example, treatment for spina bifida varies depending on the severity of conditions - patients may need alternative methods of transport (e.g. walkers, wheelchairs, braces) or may receive surgical treatment (e.g. tethered spinal cord).
