Prenatal diagnosis of truncus arteriosus using multiplanar display in 4D ultrasonography.

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 diagnosis of truncus arteriosus with two-dimensional sonography requires expertise in fetal echocardiography. Indeed, truncus arteriosus shares with tetralogy of Fallot and pulmonary atresia with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) the sonographic finding of a single arterial trunk overriding a VSD. The diagnosis of truncus arteriosus can be confirmed when either the main pulmonary artery or its branches are visualized arising from the truncus itself. This requires sequential examination of multiple scanning planes and a process of mental reconstruction of their spatial relationships. The advantage of multiplanar imaging in three-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasonography is that it allows for the simultaneous visualization of three orthogonal anatomic planes, which can be very important in diagnosing cardiac abnormalities. We report, first, a case of truncus arteriosus diagnosed in utero where the multiplanar display modality provided important insight into the differential diagnosis of this conotruncal anomaly, and then, review the diagnosis of truncus arteriosus on ultrasound.
