Comparison of Cerebral Blood Circulation of Fetuses with Congenital Heart Disease with Healthy Fetuses.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasound. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The effect of congenital cardiac malformation on fetal cerebral circulation has not been well known. This study aimed to compare the cerebral blood circulation of fetuses with congenital heart disease (CHD) with healthy fetuses. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 37 pregnant women who presented to the gynecology and obstetrics department of department of Farabi Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, Karadeniz Technical University for anomaly screening in the second trimester. The women were divided into two groups as those with fetuses having CHD and healthy fetuses. Middle cerebral artery (MCA), peak systolic velocity (PSV), pulsatility index (PI), resistivity index (RI), systole/diastole (S/D) ratio, and MCA transverse section diameter (mm) were recorded for each fetus. Results: The most common CHDs were truncus arteriosus and hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The mean MCA PSV, resistivity index, and MDCA vessel diameter values were statistically significantly higher in the study group compared with fetuses without CHDs. The mean PI and systole/diastole ratio were statistically significantly lower in the study group than in the control group. Conclusion: This study reported that MCA PSV, RI, and vessel diameter were significantly higher and the S/D ratio and PI were significantly lower in fetuses with CHD compared to the healthy fetuses.
