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

Nuchal cord accidents comprise a third of stillbirths in the third trimester. These are often due to higher order nuchal cords, with more than three loops. In this report, we discuss a case of a gestation complicated by a nuchal cord with eight loops and severe fetal growth restriction, requiring expedited delivery due to non-reassuring fetal heart tones. Our case demonstrates the value of high-quality ultrasound in detecting complex nuchal cords, as well as highlighting the potentially dynamic and unstable fetal status in an affected gestation. Antenatal knowledge of nuchal cord in the setting of non-reassuring fetal status can help guide patient counselling and assist with identifying possible aetiologies. Finally, our case demonstrates that close monitoring and early intervention can prevent potentially catastrophic outcomes.
