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

background and purposeMost patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) do not receive prenatal diagnosis. Our aim was to describe MR imaging findings to determine the following: 1. Whether normal fetal MR imaging is more common in fetuses imaged at ≤24 weeks' gestation compared with >24 weeks 2. The frequency of cardiac rhabdomyoma 3. The range of MR imaging phenotypes in fetal tuberous sclerosis complex. MATERIALS AND

methodsOur institutional fetal MR imaging data base was searched between January 1, 2011 and June 30, 2021, for cases of TSC confirmed either by genetic testing, postnatal imaging, postmortem examination, or composite prenatal imaging findings and family history. A MEDLINE search was performed on June 8, 2021.

resultsForty-seven published cases and 4 of our own cases were identified. Normal findings on fetal MR imaging were seen at a lower gestational age (mean, 24.7 [SD, 4.5 ] weeks) than abnormal findings on MR imaging (mean, 30.0 [SD, 5.3] weeks) (

conclusionsFetuses with abnormal cranial MR imaging findings were older than those with negative findings. Fetal hemimegalencephaly and megalencephaly should prompt fetal echocardiography. Cardiac rhabdomyoma was not always present at the time of fetal MR imaging.
