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

Fetal congenital heart block is a widely recognized complication of pregnancies with anti Ro/La antibodies. Less common presentations, including dilated cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, valvular insufficiency, and endocardial fibroelastosis, have also been described in these fetuses. We present two cases where recognition of isolated basal echogenicity of the fetal heart, an unconventional manifestation of anti-SSA antibodies during pregnancy, led to a suspicion and ultimately diagnosis of antibody positivity in the mother. These cases highlight the importance of being aware of this rare manifestation of anti-SSA antibodies during pregnancy, as early recognition of antibody positivity may lead to improve fetal and maternal outcomes.
