TRAP Sequence Clinical Case: Is a Single Umbilical Artery a Protective Ultrasound Marker for Fetal Heart Failure Development.
Article in Pediatric cardiology, 2026. 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
Twin Reversed Arterial Perfusion (TRAP) sequence is a rare complication in monochorionic pregnancies, often leading to fetal heart failure (FHF) in the pump twin. We present a 17-year-old primigravida with a monochorionic monoamniotic twin pregnancy presented with an acardiac twin, single umbilical artery (SUA), and multicystic placenta appearance. Throughout the pregnancy, the pump twin exhibited normal growth without signs of FHF. The infant was delivered at 34 weeks via cesarean section, healthy and without cardiac anomalies. The nonexistence of an impacted intrauterine fetal development and FHF of the pump twin in our case may be explained by the presence of one umbilical artery, resulting in less blood flow to the parasitic twin, which can be accepted as a protective factor for the pump twin circulation. Our hypothesis-generating finding that SUA may play a protective role in the development of FHF in pump-twin is promising; however, it remains speculative, and further research is needed to confirm the protective role of SUA for pump-twin outcomes in TRAP pregnancies.
