Prevalence of Congenital Anomalies Among Pregnant Women at a Tertiary Care Center: A Cross-Sectional study.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionCongenital anomalies are a major health problem and are responsible for a significant proportion of morbidity and mortality in newborns. The objective of this study was to find the prevalence and type of congenital anomalies along with the presence of factors responsible for their development among antenatal women and pregnancies delivered at Kathmandu Medical College.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of nine months in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Kathmandu Medical College. All congenital anomaly cases detected antenatally or at delivery were included in the study. Cases were analyzed to find out the prevalence, types of anomalies, and the risk factors involved.
resultsDuring the study period, 86 congenital anomalies were seen in 1565 cases of delivery and termination of pregnancy, showing a prevalence of 5.49%. Anomalies of the central nervous system (CNS) were the most common (n=29,33.72%) followed by the circulatory system (n=19, 22.10%). Congenital anomalies were mostly diagnosed by prenatal ultrasonography in 68 cases (79%). Among the cases of congenital anomalies, 56 (65%) had termination of pregnancy, 28 (32.60%) were live birth and two (2.40%) were stillborn. The maternal factor that was studied showed that congenital anomalies are frequently seen in the age group of 26-30 years (n=30,34.88%) and multiparous women (n=52, 60.47%).
conclusionsThe prevalence of congenital anomalies was high, and CNS anomalies were the most common anomaly observed in this study.
