Maternal low molecular weight heparin versus sildenafil citrate for fetal growth restriction: a randomized, parallel groups, open-label clinical trial.
Trial report in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesTo compare the effect of sildenafil citrate (SC) and low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) on neonatal birth weight (BW) and the fetoplacental blood flow in pregnancies with FGR. STUDY
designA parallel groups, randomized clinical trial was conducted at a university hospital, between June 2017 and September 2018, involving 100 pregnant women with placental mediated FGR between 28 and 35 weeks of gestation who were randomly assigned to receive either SC or LMWH started at FGR diagnosis till delivery.
resultsThe neonatal BW in LMWH group was higher than SC group (p < 0.000) with a longer time from randomization till delivery, LMWH group had significant improvement in Ut A PI, UA PI, and MCA PI compared with SC treated group with p values 0.005, <0.000001, and 0.014, respectively.
conclusionThe neonatal BW, time from randomization to delivery, and fetoplacental blood flow indices were significantly better with LMWH use compared with SC.
