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

Objective: Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) significantly affect both maternal and fetal health, with uterine artery hemodynamic parameters playing a critical role in assessing fetal well-being, though they do not provide early insights into fetal cardiac function. Fetal Heart Quantification (Fetal HQ) technology offers a non-invasive, highly accurate method for evaluating fetal heart morphology and function, making it a valuable tool for assessing the impact of HDPs on fetal cardiac health. Methods: This study investigates fetal heart function and morphology in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDPs) using fetal heart quantification (HQ) technology combined with uterine artery ultrasound parameters. A total of 70 normal fetuses and 59 fetuses with HDPs were included, with 30 cases showing normal and 29 cases showing abnormaluterine artery blood flow patterns. Uterine artery hemodynamic parameters (PI, RI, S/D) and fetal echocardiographic parameters (FRAC, FS, GLS, EF, 4CVCirc, GSI) were assessed. Results: Results showed that in the HDP group with abnormal uterine artery blood flow, PI, RI, and S/D were significantly higher than in both the control and HDP groups with normal blood flow ( Conclusion: These findings suggest that the fetal right ventricle is more sensitive to hemodynamic changes in HDP pregnancies, with right heart functional and morphological indicators potentially serving as predictive markers.
