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
objectiveThe study aims to evaluate the etiological distribution and prognosis of newborn infants with hydrops fetalis (HF).
methodsAll infants born in our hospital within the past 10 years and hospitalized with the diagnosis of HF were included in this retrospective descriptive study. Demographic characteristics, etiological distributions, treatment interventions, and prognosis information of the infants were recorded retrospectively. Infants with incomplete data were excluded from the study.
resultsThe mean gestational age of infants with HF was 33.6±3.1 weeks, and the mean birth weight was 2444±792 grams. Of the HF cases, 90.5% were born by cesarean section and the prenatal diagnosis rate was 42.9%. About 57.1% of the infants were intubated during resuscitation at birth in the delivery room. In the NICU, 81% of the cases were intubated and 71.4% received surfactant treatment. The most common HF findings were ascites (81%) and subcutaneous edema (81%). The most common interventional procedures were paracentesis (81%) and thoracentesis (52.4%). Exchange transfusion was performed in 2 cases (9.5%) due to immune HF. The mortality rate in the study group was 52.4%. Considering the etiological distribution of HF cases in the study group, three cases were diagnosed with immune HF (14.3%) and 18 cases with non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) (85.7%). The underlying cause in immune HF cases was rhesus incompatibility. In cases with NIHF, idiopathic (23.8%) and cardiovascular diseases were the most common etiologies. A significant relationship was found between delivery room management and mortality. While the need for intubation in delivery room was significantly higher in non-survivors, the frequency of applying only positive pressure ventilation in the delivery room was significantly higher in survivors. While the rate of survival was 66.7% in immune HF cases, it was 44.4% in NIHF cases.
conclusionThe risk of perinatal mortality in infants with HF is high depending on the underlying cause. In this study, it was determined that HF mostly developed for non-immune reasons, prenatal diagnosis and follow-up were insufficient and the interventions performed in the delivery room were an important factor in predicting mortality in the follow-up of neonates with HF.
