Counseling for fetal heart disease-current standards and best practice.
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 18 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 disease (CHD) is the most common cause of major congenital anomalies affecting newborns. Prenatal detection of CHD has been improving continuously during the last two decades due to technical advances and thus optimized fetal cardiac imaging. Besides the in-utero diagnosis of CHD effective parental counseling is an integral part of any Fetal Cardiology Program. However, studies on the most effective techniques are scarce, as well as data on empirical assessment of counseling and its effectiveness. In this review article, we summarize current guidelines from different international associations and societies. We provide an updated literature overview evaluating current standards of counseling with regard to parental needs. This includes ethical aspects, counseling for univentricular disease and in-utero cardiac interventions. We discuss our method to assess counseling success for fetal heart defects by exploring different analytical dimensions that may be considered helpful in order to improve efficacy. Finally, we present a proposal of how to optimize a setting for counseling based on the current literature and our own data. In summary, parental counseling for fetal heart disease is complex and multidimensional. Significant expertise in fetal cardiology and physiology, potential progression of CHD, postnatal treatment strategies and knowledge of long-term sequelae is necessary. A structured approach, together with continuous improvement of communicative skills, may lead to more effective counseling for parents following a diagnosis of CHD in the fetus.
