Prenatal ultrasound diagnosis and prognosis of fetus with isolated filar cyst: a retrospective analysis.

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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prenatal ultrasonographic diagnosis and prognosis of fetuses with isolated filar cysts (FCs). Methods: The ultrasonographic features, reasons for missed diagnosis, and prognosis of eight isolated FCs diagnosed using ultrasound were analyzed retrospectively through follow-up. Results: Eight isolated FCs showed round or fusiform cystic anechoic areas at the end of the conus medullaris. Among them, six cases were prenatally diagnosed and the other two cases were diagnosed after birth. Of the six cases diagnosed prenatally, four (66.7%) disappeared during pregnancy, and the shortest time to disappearance was 1 month after the first diagnosis. All patients were followed up without any clinical symptoms or functional abnormalities. Conclusion: Isolated FCs may exhibit physiological variations that disappear spontaneously during pregnancy and usually have no clinical symptoms. They are usually benign and have a good prognosis. Ultrasonography is helpful for the diagnosis and follow-up of FCs.
