Prenatal diagnosis of well-developed fetus in fetu with spontaneous movement in a resource-limited setting: A case report.
Article in Case reports in women's health, 2024. 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
Fetus in fetu (FIF) is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by the presence of a parasitic monozygotic twin encased within the body of its host twin. Because FIF is asymptomatic throughout pregnancy, it is mainly diagnosed in children with an abdominal mass after birth. In the case reported here, at 38-39 weeks of gestation, a 33-year-old woman (gravida 4, para 3) was referred for routine obstetric ultrasonography. Fluid accumulation was identified along with calcification resembling two well-developed legs and trunk with undifferentiated organs inside. Slight spontaneous movement of the legs was observed. The fetus was delivered based on the presumed diagnosis of FIF. Postnatal sonography and computed tomography (CT) supported the diagnosis. The neonate underwent surgical excision of the tumor and was discharged on the eighth postoperative day. Ultrasound can be used to provide accurate prenatal diagnosis of FIF. Early diagnosis is important to improve outcomes.
