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

Rhabdomyoma is the most common cardiac tumor in fetuses, frequently associated with tuberous sclerosis complex, particularly in cases with multiple tumors and a positive family history (1). Our aim is to retrospectively evaluate four fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma cases diagnosed via fetal echocardiography, with an emphasis on the importance of early recognition and multidisciplinary postnatal follow-up to better understand the variable clinical course and optimize management strategies.

conclusionCardiac rhabdomyomas require early prenatal recognition and genetic counseling to manage potential cardiac and extracardiac complications. A multidisciplinary follow-up approach enhances postnatal outcomes and informs the management of future pregnancies. WHAT IS KNOWN: • Fetal cardiac rhabdomyomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in utero and are often associated with tuberous sclerosis complex. WHAT IS NEW: • This case series highlights the diverse postnatal tumor behaviors-including growth, stability, and regression-emphasizing the need for individualized follow-up.
