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

backgroundThe mediastinal shift angle is a new fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) index that is reportedly correlated with postnatal survival in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia. However, its correlation in patients with congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) has not been assessed.

objectiveThis study aimed to establish a normal range for the right/left mediastinal shift angles, to evaluate the mediastinal shift angle in fetuses with CPAM, to compare the mediastinal shift angle with the CPAM volume ratio, and to evaluate the predictive value of the mediastinal shift angle measurements. MATERIALS AND

methodsTo establish the normal range, we measured the mediastinal shift angle bilaterally in 124 fetuses without any lung abnormality (the control group). Subsequently, the mediastinal shift angle was measured in 32 fetuses pathologically diagnosed with CPAM. Moreover, the mediastinal shift angle and CPAM volume ratio were compared using fetal MRI.

resultsThe mean values for the right/left mediastinal shift angles were 18.6°/26.3° and 39.2°/35.9° for control fetuses and fetuses with CPAM, respectively. The mediastinal shift angle and the CPAM volume ratio showed a positive statistical correlation. The area under the curve demonstrated high discriminatory accuracy for the mediastinal shift angle (0.76).

conclusionThe mediastinal shift angle has potential to replace the CPAM volume ratio for evaluating the severity of CPAM in fetal MRI.
