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 ventriculomegaly is a central nervous system disorder commonly seen in prenatal imaging, and the prognosis ranges from normal health to severe dysfunction. Currently, fetal predictive markers associated with postpartum individual neurodevelopmental function are still not available, which increases the difficulty of prenatal diagnosis and clinical management. Constant advancements in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology have brought better accuracy and reliability of MRI applied in the diagnosis, prognosis assessment, and etiology investigation of ventriculomegaly. MRI plays a critical role in prognostic management and prenatal consultation. Nevertheless, due to the potential safety hazards and economic and technical constraints of MRI, it is not the first choice for prenatal imaging diagnosis. Moreover, there are different opinions regarding the measurement results and grading criteria of ultrasound and MRI. At present, it is accepted that three-dimensional volume may provide reliable information for prognosis. However, accurate segmentation and measurement of brain structure remain serious challenges, and no consensus on the MRI measurement of lateral ventricle volume has been reached. In this paper, based on the latest research reports from China and around the world, we reviewed the progress in applying MRI in the prenatal diagnosis and treatment of ventriculomegaly. This review offers a theoretical foundation for further exploration of the role of lateral ventricle volume measurement in disease diagnosis and management. We suggest that researchers combine two-dimensional width with three-dimensional volume in the future to identify the optimal cutoff value for prognostic prediction of fetal ventriculomegaly.
