Analysis of characteristic features in ultrasound diagnosis of fetal limb body wall complex during 11-13
Article in World journal of clinical cases, 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
backgroundLimb body wall complex (LBWC) is a fatal malformation characterized by major defects in the fetal abdominal or thoracic wall, visceral herniation, significant scoliosis or spina bifida, limb deformities, craniofacial deformities, and umbilical cord abnormalities (short or absent umbilical cord). Early diagnosis of this condition is of great clinical significance for clinical intervention and pregnancy decision-making. With the rapid development of fetal ultrasound medicine, early pregnancy (11-13
aimTo explore the value of prenatal ultrasound in the diagnosis of fetal LBWC syndrome during early pregnancy.
methodsThe ultrasonographic data and follow-up results of 18 cases of fetal LBWC diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound during early pregnancy (11-13
resultsAmong the 18 fetuses with limb wall abnormalities, there were spinal dysplasia (18/18, 100%), varying degrees of thoracoschisis and gastroschisis (18/18, 100%), limb dysplasia in 6 cases (6/18, 33%), craniocerebral malformations in 4 cases (4/18, 22%), thickening of the transparent layer of the neck in 5 cases (5/18, 28%), and umbilical cord abnormalities in 18 cases (18/18, 100%), single umbilical artery in 5 cases.
conclusionPrenatal ultrasound in early pregnancy can detect LBWC as early as possible, and correct prenatal evaluation provides important guidance value for pregnancy decision-making and early intervention.
