Value of fetal cerebral MRI in sonographically proven cardiac rhabdomyoma.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
backgroundTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant phakomatosis associated with intracardiac rhabdomyomas.
objectiveThe aim of our study was to examine the value of cerebral MRI in diagnosing TSC in fetuses with intracardiac rhabdomyomas, applying the TSC Consensus Conference (TSCCC) criteria. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn a prospective manner six consecutive fetuses with cardiac rhabdomyomas (21-34 weeks' gestation) underwent cerebral MRI. The MRI results were correlated with clinical follow-up at 10-34 months after birth, histology, and genetic data.
resultsIn five of the six fetuses the diagnosis of TSC was established. In two of five fetuses MRI demonstrated cerebral manifestations of TSC that correlated well with severe epilepsy manifesting during the follow-up period. In another two of five fetuses MRI as well as clinical follow-up were normal. One of five pregnancies was terminated and histology demonstrated microscopically small subependymal nodules not demonstrated by MRI.
conclusionThe results of our study agree with the available literature that fetal MRI is sufficient for the detection of cerebral lesions in TSC and should be better promoted. The TSCCC criteria can also be applied to fetal MRI.
