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

objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasound detection of the fetal middle cerebral artery, umbilical artery blood flow and fetal movement reduction in fetal distress.

methodsA total of 30 cases of pregnant women with fetal distress (FIUD) in our hospital were selected as the observation group, and 60 cases of normal pregnant women in the same period were selected as the control group. The fetal umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI), the ratio of peak systolic blood flow velocity to end-diastolic blood flow velocity (S/D) and fetal movement reduction were detected. The diagnostic value of the above indicators alone and in combination for fetal distress was observed.

resultsThe RI, PI and S/D of umbilical artery in the observation group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.001). The S/D, RI and PI of the middle cerebral artery in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). The number of cases with decreased fetal heart rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) of umbilical artery S/D, umbilical artery RI, umbilical artery PI, middle cerebral artery S/D, middle cerebral artery PI, middle cerebral artery RI, fetal movement reduction and combined above indexes were 0.788, 0.870, 0.847, 0.852, 0.802, 0.658, 0.750 and 1.000 respectively (all P<0.05). The combined diagnosis has a higher diagnostic value for fetal distress.

conclusionUmbilical artery, middle cerebral artery hemodynamics combined with fetal movement has a specific value in diagnosing fetal distress, which is worth of clinical application.
