Ectopia cordis with multiple congenital malformations: rare but real.
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2025. 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
Ectopia cordis is a rare congenital defect where in a portion or the entire heart is mispositioned outside the thoracic cage. The exact cause is not clear. It may present as an isolated anomaly or may be associated with other congenital malformations. Once detected on antenatal sonography, a detailed anatomical and high-quality cardiac scan of the fetus is warranted. The prognosis is poor, and most infants are stillborn or die in early neonatal life. Early diagnosis is essential as it has consequences on the method of termination of pregnancy and its safety profile. We report a case of ectopia cordis with associated multiple congenital malformations that included ventriculomegaly, omphalocele with herniation of liver and intestines, and bilateral clubfeet. In view of the scarcity of data regarding this unusual condition and its association with multiple anatomic defects and limited clinical experience with its management, medical termination of pregnancy is desirable.
