Brain growth in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Article in Journal of neuroimaging : official journal of the American Society of Neuroimaging. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 purposeTo perform a volumetric evaluation of the brain in fetuses with right or left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and to compare brain growth trajectories to normal fetuses.
methodsWe identified fetal MRIs performed between 2015 and 2020 in fetuses with a diagnosis of CDH. Gestational age (GA) range was 19-40 weeks. Control subjects consisted of normally developing fetuses between 19 and 40 weeks recruited for a separate prospective study. All images were acquired at 3 Tesla and were processed with retrospective motion correction and slice-to-volume reconstruction to generate super-resolution 3-dimensional volumes. These volumes were registered to a common atlas space and segmented in 29 anatomic parcellations.
resultsA total of 174 fetal MRIs in 149 fetuses were analyzed (99 controls [mean GA: 29.2 ± 5.2 weeks], 34 fetuses left-sided CDH [mean GA: 28.4 ± 5.3 weeks], and 16 fetuses right-sided CDH [mean GA: 27 ± 5.4 weeks]). In fetuses with left-sided CDH, brain parenchymal volume was -8.0% (95% confidence interval [CI] [-13.1, -2.5]; p = .005) lower than normal controls. Differences ranged from -11.4% (95% CI [-18, -4.3]; p < .001) in the corpus callosum to -4.6% (95% CI [-8.9, -0.1]; p = .044) in the hippocampus. In fetuses with right-sided CDH, brain parenchymal volume was -10.1% (95% CI [-16.8, -2.7]; p = .008) lower than controls. Differences ranged from -14.1% (95% CI [-21, -6.5]; p < .001) in the ventricular zone to -5.6% (95% CI [-9.3, -1.8]; p = .025) in the brainstem.
conclusionLeft and right CDH are associated with lower fetal brain volumes.
