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

Posterior fossa abnormalities are one of the most common indications for performing foetal magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI). Ultrasonography is the initial imaging modality for assessment of foetal posterior fossa. Abnormal findings on ultrasonography warrant further evaluation with FMRI because it offers excellent soft-tissue contrast resolution and multiplanar capabilities. The neurological prognosis of different posterior fossa anomalies varies widely. FMRI plays a crucial role in confirming the diagnosis, assessing the prognosis, and counselling patients regarding continuation of pregnancy and possible post-natal developmental outcome. In this review we present the imaging spectrum of posterior fossa anomalies that readers can encounter in practice, highlight salient points in favour of each diagnosis, and provide a simplified algorithmic approach to reach the final diagnosis.
