Clinical value of prenatal echocardiographic examination in the diagnosis of fetal cardiac tumors.

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
The aim of the present study was to explore the clinical value of prenatal echocardiographic examination in the diagnosis of fetal cardiac tumors. In total, the cases of 8 fetuses with fetal cardiac tumors, which were identified by prenatal ultrasound examination in The First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between January 2012 and January 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. The size, shape, location, activity and hemodynamic changes of the lesions were described in detail, and the patients were followed up. Out of the 8 identified cases of fetal cardiac tumors, 2 fetuses contained tumors only in the left ventricular cavity and 6 fetuses contained tumors of the left and right ventricular cavities, interventricular septum and apex of the heart. Overall, 5 of the 8 female patients requested termination of the pregnancy and labor was induced. The fetuses were pathologically confirmed to possess rhabdomyoma. In addition, 1 patient was followed-up for 5 weeks, and the tumor in the fetal heart cavity was found to have enlarged and developed in multiple regions when follow-up was performed. The patient then requested termination of the pregnancy and labor was induced. The fetus was pathologically confirmed to possess rhabdomyoma. The remaining 2 patients insisted on continuation of the pregnancy and the fetuses were followed up during gestation and subsequent to birth by echocardiographic examination. Prenatal echocardiography may precisely position and diagnose occupying lesions of the fetal heart, which is of considerable value in clinical decision making and instruction for treatment.
