Dynamic sequential cross-sectional scanning increases detection rate of congenital heart disease in sonographers: a prenatal ultrasound training program.
Trial report in BMC medical education, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPrenatal ultrasound is the preferred modality for diagnosing fetal congenital heart disease. Given issues of physician proficiency and hospital distribution, we propose a dynamic sequential cross-sectional scanning (SCS) to explore the feasibility of cardiac screening by sonographers with less than 5 years of experience in ultrasound. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty residents were randomly divided into two groups, receiving training in the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) fetal echocardiography and the SCS method. According to the needs of training, the professional staff developed the theoretical knowledge question bank, the CHD ultrasonic video disease bank, and the assessment scale. Trainees completed the pre-training examination, theory and skill operation training, and post-training assessment. For the two groups, the theoretical knowledge, skill operation and disease diagnosis were analyzed statistically before and after training.
resultsAfter training, the trainees in both groups had significantly improved knowledge and diagnostic abilities, their diagnostic thinking about CHD was clear, and they could identify major or even all structural abnormalities and make a definite diagnosis. In terms of skill operation, both groups could complete all required scanning within the specified time. The scanning time of the SCS group was significantly lower than that of the AIUM group, and the effect of the receptor site in the AIUM group was significantly higher than that in the SCS group.
conclusionSCS can be used as a new rapid fetal cardiac scanning method and try to popularize among echocardiographer.
