1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 21-year-old G3P2011 Caucasian woman at 27 weeks' gestation presented with fetal tachyarrhythmia between 240 and 270 beats per minute. Fetal supraventricular tachycardia, abdominal ascites, pleural effusion and pericardial effusion indicated hydrops fetalis. Management with digoxin and flecainide converted the fetus to sinus rhythm and resolved the ascites and pleural effusion within 4 days of treatment. Flecainide was discontinued at 31 weeks' gestation due to elevated liver enzymes. Intrahepatic cholestasis was treated with ursodiol. Caesarean section was performed at 37 weeks' gestation. Neonatal echocardiogram revealed a bicuspid aortic valve with mild regurgitation and a patent foramen ovale, and the infant showed no subsequent evidence of tachyarrhythmia or hydrops after delivery. Treatment of hydrops fetalis in the antenatal period is complex, and early diagnosis and treatment can quickly resolve supraventricular tachycardia-induced hydrops fetalis.
