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 determine the etiology and outcome of non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) according to gestational age at diagnosis and intrauterine treatment. STUDY

designA total of 122 NIHF cases were included. Medical records and ultrasonographic images were reviewed. The etiology, outcome, and intrauterine treatment were assessed.

resultsThe etiology was determined in 100 cases, and Hb Bart's disease was the most common. Two cases each of homozygous Southeast Asian ovalocytosis (SAO) and hemoglobin Constant Spring (Hb CS) were found. NIHF diagnosed in early gestation (<24 weeks) had a higher rate of chromosomal abnormalities and fetal demise. Intrauterine treatment was given in 18 cases, and 50% had successful live births.

conclusionHb Bart's disease was the most common cause of NIHF. SAO and Hb CS were associated with hydrops. NIHF in gestational age <24 weeks was associated with chromosomal abnormalities and fetal demise. Intrauterine treatment should be offered in selected cases.
