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

Purpose To provide reference values for four-dimensional (4D) flow MRI in healthy fetuses and evaluate reliability of fetal 4D flow MRI hemodynamics in third trimester fetuses with normal cardiovascular development or suspected coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Materials and Methods Pregnant patients with healthy fetuses or fetuses with echocardiographic concern for CoA were prospectively recruited between May 2021 and October 2023. Doppler US-gated fetal 4D flow MRI was performed at 3 T. Repeated 4D flow (time permitting) and two-dimensional (2D) phase contrast (PC) MRI data were acquired. Net flow was quantified, and the reliability of 4D flow measurement was evaluated by using precision across adjacent measurement planes, internal consistency based on conservation of mass, comparison of net flow from 4D flow MRI versus 2D PC MRI, and repeatability of 4D flow from separate acquisitions. Results Data were obtained in 34 pregnant participants (mean maternal age, 33 years ± 5 [SD]; mean gestational age, 35 weeks ± 2;
