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
Methods: A 17-week-old female neonate with a history of prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart anomaly was admitted to Ayatollah Mousavi Hospital in Zanjan, Iran. For the diagnosis of thoracic ectopia, cordis fetal echocardiography and ultrasonography were performed. Moreover, the noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) genetic test performed in the 10th week of pregnancy was evaluated. Results: The neonate was diagnosed with thoracic ectopia cordis, with the heart located outside the thoracic cavity and covered by a thin membrane. The Z scores of the analyzed maternal venous blood chromosomes were between +6 and -6, and all chromosomes had a low risk in terms of the risk of birth defects. The results of this study revealed that genetic test analysis is not enough to diagnose and predict congenital anomalies and defects. Furthermore, the findings showed that the fetus's mother continued to take folic acid after the first 3 months of pregnancy. This can be one of the risk factors involved in causing this heart defect. Conclusion: One of the important results of this study was that the diagnostic findings of ultrasound were normal, but the findings of echocardiography were reported as abnormal. This shows that fetal echocardiography is better than ultrasound imaging in diagnosing ectopia cordis. In addition, it is recommended that pregnant women should avoid taking folic acid after the first trimester of pregnancy.
