The Impact of Selective Fetal Growth Restriction or Birth Weight Discordance on Long-Term Neurodevelopment in Monochorionic Twins: A Systematic Literature Review.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The aim of this review was to assess the impact of selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) and/or birth weight discordance (BWD) on long-term neurodevelopment in monochorionic (MC) twins. Five out of 28 articles assessed for eligibility were included. One article concluded that the incidence of long-term neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) was higher in BWD MC twins (11/26, 42%) than in BWD dichorionic (DC) (5/38, 13%) and concordant MC twins (6/71, 8%). BWD MC twins had a 6-fold higher risk of cerebral palsy compared to DC twins (5/26, 19% vs. 1/40, 3%,
