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

Three- and four-dimensional US techniques in antenatal screening are commonplace, but they are not routinely used for perinatal postmortem US. In this technical innovation, we performed both two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) postmortem US on 11 foetuses (mean gestation: 23 weeks; range: 15-32 weeks) to determine whether there was any benefit in 3-D over conventional 2-D methods. In one case of osteogenesis imperfecta, both 2-D and 3-D US images were non-diagnostic because of small foetal size. Of the remaining 10 foetuses, 7 were normal at imaging and autopsy, and 3 had abnormalities detected on both 2-D and 3-D US. There were no false-positive diagnoses by 2-D or 3-D US. Whilst 3-D postmortem US was a feasible technique, it did not provide additional information over 2-D US. Routine 3-D postmortem US cannot therefore be routinely recommended based on our findings.
