European overview of current practice of fetal imaging by pediatric radiologists: a new task force is launched.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
A new task force dedicated to prenatal imaging was created in 2018 by the European Society of Pediatric Radiology. In order to establish a network of European prenatal imaging practice, we sent a questionnaire to radiologists practicing prenatal imaging in Europe. The questions were related to the type of institution, the local legislation for termination of pregnancy, the type of imaging modality and the following items regarding magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): magnetic field, gestational age at which it is performed, use of maternal sedation, number of examinations per year, proportion of cerebral versus body indications and proportion of repeated examinations. We collected responses from 20 European countries, 52 cities and 67 institutions (82% public). In most countries, the upper gestational age limit for termination of pregnancy is 24 weeks of gestation. In some countries, it is earlier and in other countries, there is no limit. Very few radiologists practice fetal ultrasonography and computed tomography. In some countries, fetal MRI is mainly performed before 24 weeks of pregnancy, while in others, it is mainly performed in the third trimester. Neurological indications are by far predominant and 30% of the institutions have access to a 3-tesla (T) unit for fetal MRI. Maternal sedation is rarely used. The number of scans per year is highly variable with an average of 140, which is not necessarily correlated to the size of the population.
