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 intracranial teratoma presents a rare and devastating diagnosis. Typically, this condition is first detected during routine prenatal ultrasounds, appearing as an irregular heterogeneous lesion. Further insights are gained through fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), better characterizing the anomaly. The combination of these modalities provides detail-oriented high resolution MRI images, while follow-up ultrasounds capture dynamic growth changes, serving as a cost-effective and easily accessible adjunct. This fast-growing tumor leads to macrocephaly and ventriculomegaly, causing severe distortion of the brain parenchyma. Early detection is crucial for effective fetal management and preventing maternal complications. Unfortunately, treatment options are limited due to the tumor's aggressive nature, typically resulting in fetal demise shortly after birth. Here, we present the sonographic and MRI findings of a congenital intracranial teratoma, reaching massive proportions and replacing the entire cerebral hemisphere.
