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

backgroundTo establish the normal reference ranges for parameters related to the fetal posterior fossa in the first trimester (11 ~ 13+6 weeks of gestation) and to analyze the relationship between them and crown-rump length (CRL) among the Chinese population.

methodsSingleton pregnancies of 11 ~ 13

resultsThis study included 1663 fetuses. All fetuses can clearly show the three spaces of the fetal posterior fossa. The ICCs (95% CI) of intra-operator reproducibility of CM, IT, BS, BSOB, BS/BSOB were 0.981 (0.952 ~ 0.991, P < 0.001), 0.929 (0.866 ~ 0.961, P < 0.001), 0.970 (0.946 ~ 0.983, P < 0.001), 0.991 (0.974 ~ 0.996, P < 0.001), 0.939 (0.892 ~ 0.965, P < 0.001), respectively; The ICCs (95% CI) of inter-operator reproducibility 0.926 (0.860 ~ 0.960, P < 0.001), 0.810 (-0.083 ~ 0.940, P < 0.001), 0.820 (0.645 ~ 0.904, P < 0.001), 0.804 (0.656 ~ 0.888, P < 0.001), 0.772 (0.599 ~ 0.871, P < 0.001), respectively. There was a linear correlation between CRL and the parameters related to the posterior fossa (CM, IT, BS, BSOB, BS/BSOB). CM (mm) = -1.698 + 0.532 × CRL (cm) (r = 0.829, P < 0.001); IT (mm) = 0.701 + 0.179 × CRL (cm) (r = 0.548, P < 0.001); BS (mm) = 0.403 + 0.349 × CRL (cm) (r = 0.716, P < 0.001); BSOB (mm) = -0.277 + 0.719 × CRL (cm) (r = 0.829, P < 0.001); BS/BSOB = 0.747-0.021 × CRL (cm) (r = 0.196, P < 0.001).

conclusionsQualitative and quantitative assessment of the fetal posterior fossa structure was feasible in the first trimester. We constructed the normal reference ranges of CM, IT, BS, BSOB, and BS/BSOB. Furthermore, CM, IT, BS, and BSOB were positively correlated with CRL, but BS/BSOB was negatively correlated with CRL.
