The Role of Antenatal Ultrasound Scans in the Early Detection of Alobar Holoprosencephaly: A Case Report.

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
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is a developmental defect that affects the brain structure due to failure or incomplete division of the prosencephalon at the third week to the fourth week of gestation into cerebral hemispheres. Although the exact cause of HPE remains unclear, it is suspected to result from a combination of genetic and environmental factors. We report a case of alobar HPE. This case was diagnosed on antenatal ultrasonography in a 42-year-old female (Gravida 3, Para 2) with an unremarkable family history and absence of any risk factors. The association of alobar HPE with an atrioventricular canal defect, left-sided clubfoot, and omphalocele, in this case, constitutes a rare fetal morphological presentation. This case highlights the crucial role of regular antenatal ultrasound scans in the early detection of fatal anomalies like alobar HPE.
