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

This narrative review examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in prenatal care, particularly in managing pregnancies complicated by Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR). AI provides a transformative approach to diagnosing and monitoring FGR by leveraging advanced machine-learning algorithms and extensive data analysis. Automated fetal biometry using AI has demonstrated significant precision in identifying fetal structures, while predictive models analyzing Doppler indices and maternal characteristics improve the reliability of adverse outcome predictions. AI has enabled early detection and stratification of FGR risk, facilitating targeted monitoring strategies and individualized delivery plans, potentially improving neonatal outcomes. For instance, studies have shown enhancements in detecting placental insufficiency-related abnormalities when AI tools are integrated with traditional ultrasound techniques. This review also explores challenges such as algorithm bias, ethical considerations, and data standardization, underscoring the importance of global accessibility and regulatory frameworks to ensure equitable implementation. The potential of AI to revolutionize prenatal care highlights the urgent need for further clinical validation and interdisciplinary collaboration.
