Anomalous origin of the fetal pulmonary artery.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the efficacy of prenatal ultrasonography in diagnosing the anomalous origin of the fetal pulmonary artery (AOFPA). Methods: A total of 26 AOFPA cases were retrospectively analyzed from January 2014 to January 2023. The features of the AOFPA were characterized by comparing the prenatal ultrasonic data with the results of anatomical casting after pregnancy termination or postnatal imaging and surgical intervention. Missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses were expounded. Results: Of the 26 AOFPA cases, there were 13 cases of pulmonary artery sling, 8 cases of anomalous origin of the unilateral pulmonary artery, and five cases of unilateral absence of the pulmonary artery; 17 cases received pathological anatomy and casting after pregnancy termination, and nine cases were confirmed by postnatal imaging and surgery. Nineteen cases were accurately prenatally diagnosed (19/26, 73.1%), and seven cases were missed or misdiagnosed (7/26, 26.9%). Conclusions: Prenatal ultrasonography has a favorable diagnostic efficacy for anomalous origin of the fetal pulmonary artery. The absence of either the left or right pulmonary artery from the image of pulmonary artery bifurcation may indicate origin abnormalities of the pulmonary artery in fetuses, which signifies the necessity to detect the abnormal origin of the pulmonary artery on the affected side and other potential intracardiac malformation complications.
