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
objectiveTo assess the results of the first trimester combined test to design a prenatal protocol for the introduction of the cell-free fetal DNA test as a contingent screening model.
methodAn observational retrospective study in 12,327 singleton pregnancies to analyze the results of the combined first trimester screening, the nuchal translucency ≥97.5 percentile, their cytogenetic results and birth outcomes.
resultsA total of 533 (4.3%) pregnant women had a risk in combined first trimester screening above 1/300. In this group, sixty nine had an unbalanced karyotype. The abnormal/normal karyotype ratio was 1/28 in pregnant women with intermediate risk (1/51-1/300) for trisomy 21 and trisomy 18, 1/58 with intermediate risk just for trisomy 21 and 1/37 with intermediate risk just for trisomy 18. A 19.8% of the unbalanced karyotypes had chromosomal abnormalities other than trisomies 21, 18 and 13. Two false negatives cases at first trimester combined screening presented a nuchal translucency ≥ p97.5
conclusionWe propose the introduction of the cell-free fetal DNA test when the risk of first trimester combined screening is intermediate (1/51-1/300) and when nuchal translucency is ≥ p97.5
