Fetal brain MRI findings and neonatal outcome of common diagnosis at a tertiary care center.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Fetal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is increasingly used in prenatal evaluations.
objectiveIdentify common brain malformations on fetal MRI and evaluate perinatal course.
methodsFetal consultations from 10/2016 to 12/2017 reviewed.
resultsHundred consultations were requested; 94 were completed. Findings included: posterior fossa malformations (19%), agenesis/dysgenesis of corpus callosum (15%), congenital aqueductal stenosis (CAS) (14%), ventriculomegaly (11%), isolated cortical malformations (8.5%), and holoprosencephaly (6%). Posterior fossa malformations were more likely to be associated with genetic conditions and cardiac malformations. Patients with CAS all required intensive care unit admission. Overall, few patients with congenital brain malformations required feeding or respiratory support at discharge. None had seizures as neonates except two with early epileptic encephalopathy syndromes.
conclusionsEven though long term neurological prognosis is poor for many conditions including high lifetime risk of epilepsy, most are discharged with no feeding or respiratory support. Seizures are rarely seen in the neonatal period.
