Diagnostic Accuracy of Cerebroplacental Ratio in Prediction of Postnatal Outcomes in Oligohydramnios.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimThe evidence on isolated oligohydramnios (IO) patients and their postnatal outcomes are inconsistent. Recent research has clarified the connection between that IO and negative outcomes in the postnatal period. Our goal was to analyze the correlation between Doppler measurements and postnatal outcomes in oligohydramnios patients, with a focus on the cerebroplacental ratio (CPR). METHODOLOGY: A cohort study was conducted in the Radiology Department of Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) Hospital from October 2021 to July 2022. One hundred women were chosen as the sample size. For this study, we used the Raosoft sample size calculator with a 95% confidence interval and a 5% margin of error. Both the middle cerebral artery and the umbilical artery were imaged using ultrasound, and the systolic-to-diastolic ratio and peak systolic velocity are recorded. Pulsatility index (PI) and resistive index (RI) were also calculated. If the amniotic fluid index (AFI) is less than 5 cm, the condition is known as oligohydramnios. The newborn's APGAR score was taken immediately after birth as well as after 5 minutes.
resultsWe have determined that, on average, mothers are 35.45 weeks/248.15 days pregnant. When compared to the reference standard, CPR diagnostic features showed a sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 77.27. Overall diagnostic accuracy is predicted to be 93.0%, with a 93.50% positive prognosis and a 73.91% negative prognosis. The effect size for the change in APGAR scores before and after the test was -2.38 1.03, with a 95% confidence interval of -2.58 to -2.17 and a significance level of 0.00.
conclusionThis study concludes that CPR is an effective screening tool and that it can be used to predict postnatal outcomes in patients with oligohydramnios. Clinical prediction rules were found to be a more effective screening tool, with a sensitivity of 92%, a specificity of 77.27%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 92.3%.
