Fetal acrania diagnosed at 17 weeks of gestation by 2D∕3D ultrasound: a case report and literature review.
Review in Romanian journal of morphology and embryology = Revue roumaine de morphologie et embryologie. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Acrania is a fetal malformation characterized by complete or partial absence of the calvaria above the orbits and supraciliary ridge. No exact mechanism is demonstrated for this anomaly but disturbances in mesenchymal migration during the fourth week of development are the most documented. The key sonographic features of acrania are absent calvaria and dorsally bulging brain (Mickey Mouse head). Due to the normal process of ossification of cranial bones, the diagnosis can be established only after 11 weeks of gestation. Early detection is extremely important. The prognosis is extremely poor so elective termination of pregnancy is the treatment of choice. In this paper, we discuss the things we know about pathogeny and ultrasonographic features of fetal cranial malformations based on a case diagnosed late during gestation.
