Forensic Aspects of Perinatal Deaths.
Review in Academic forensic pathology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
From a forensic pathologist's perspective, there are several aspects of the perinatal postmortem that are particularly important. If a fetus is found abandoned, the pathologist needs to ascertain the fetal age, the appropriateness of growth, if the baby was born alive or dead, and the possible causes of death. In cases of litigation for perinatal deaths occurring in hospitals, access to the obstetric and neonatal notes (if the baby is born alive and dies a few hours or days later) is fundamental to reach a correct interpretation and conclusion. The most important points to consider in cases of intrapartum death are the roles of asphyxia and trauma in the causation of the baby's death. Timing of the fetal death in relation to delivery may also be an important point in these cases. Finally, intrapartum lesions should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of possible child abuse in babies aged two months or less.
