Diagnostic value of prenatal ultrasound for detecting abnormal fetal blood flow.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveWe aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasound in detecting abnormal blood flow in the fetal umbilical artery (UA), renal artery (RA), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) in order to reduce the incidence of birth defects.
methodsThe clinical records of 186 pregnant women who received color Doppler ultrasound assessment in UA, RA, and MCA were retrospectively analyzed. Of them, 95 normal pregnant women were assigned to the control group, whereas 91 high-risk pregnant women who later gave birth to babies with defects or had poor pregnancy outcomes in late-term were assigned to the study group. Color Doppler flow imaging was used to monitor the levels of the hemodynamic markers in UA, RA, and MCA of the 186 fetuses.
resultsCompared with the control group, the study group had lower peak systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity in UA and RA, higher values of pulsatility index (PI), resistance index (RI), and peak systolic velocity/end-diastolic velocity (S/D) ratio in RA, and lower values of PI, RI, and S/D ratio in UA and MCA (all P<0.05).
conclusionColor Doppler ultrasound is a sensitive, easy-to-use, and safe technique in examining fetal blood flow change. It can provide a comprehensive and objective evaluation of the fetus in the uterus and help clinicians to decide on subsequent diagnosis and treatment plans.
