Prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defects: echocardiography.
Review in Translational pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 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
Congenital heart defects (CHD) are the most common congenital anomaly, and the majority can be diagnosed during prenatal life. Prenatal detection rates remain highly variable, as most CHD occur in low risk pregnancies and therefore depend on the maternal obstetric provider to recognize fetal cardiac abnormality on obstetric screening anatomic ultrasound. Fetuses with abnormal findings on obstetric screening anatomic ultrasound and/or risk factors for cardiac disease should be referred for evaluation with fetal echocardiography. Fetal echocardiography should be performed by specialized sonographers and interpreted by physicians with knowledge of evolving fetal cardiac anatomy and physiology throughout gestation. A fetal echocardiography examination, which can be done from the late first trimester onward, utilizes a standardized and systemic approach to diagnose fetuses with CHD or other forms of primary or secondary cardiac disease. The field of fetal cardiology has advanced past the accurate prenatal diagnosis of simple and complex CHD, as fetal echocardiography enables understanding of dynamic fetal cardiac physiology and consideration of potential fetal/neonatal treatment. The greatest impact of fetal echocardiography remains identification of critical CHD before birth to allow immediate cardiac management after delivery to decrease neonatal morbidity and mortality. Analyzing the severity of abnormal cardiac physiology in various forms of CHD before birth allows the fetal cardiologist to prognosticate effects on the developing fetus, predict risk of postnatal hemodynamic instability, guide delivery planning through multidisciplinary collaboration, and anticipate how the disease will impact the neonate after delivery.
