Postnatal outcome of isolated, nonprogressive, mild borderline fetal ventriculomegaly.
Article in Child's nervous system : ChNS : official journal of the International Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate postnatal outcome of fetuses affected by nonprogressive, isolated, mild (≥10 and ≤12 mm) borderline ventriculomegaly (BVM).
methodsWe studied 25 consecutive fetuses with BMV and evaluated patients' characteristic, ultrasonographic findings, and the neurodevelopmental outcome at age ≥24 months.
resultsThe mean gestational age at diagnosis was 23.84 ± 5.02 weeks (min-max; 17-34 weeks). In 16 cases, BVM was bilateral (16/25, 64 %), 4 left sided (4/25, 16 %), and 5 right sided (5/25, 20 %). Fourteen cases were males (14/25, 56 %), and 11 cases were females (11/25, 44 %). In two cases, ventriculomegaly was regressed 4 weeks after the initial diagnosis (2/25, 8 %), and in the remaining cases, ventriculomegaly persisted between initial measurement and 12 mm. The mean age of the infant at the time of the neurodevelopmental evaluation was 45.9 months (24-77 months). The neurodevelopmental outcome at the mean age of 45.9 months was completely normal in 16 infants (16/25, 64 %). The remaining nine infants (9/25, 36 %) had mild degree of neuromotor developmental delay.
conclusionPrenatal counseling for isolated, nonprogressive, mild BVM should be mainly reassurance since it is not associated with severe neurodevelopmental delay. However, parents should be educated about the developmental milestone of children to observe and detect mild neurodevelopmental delay which can be associated with mild BVM.
