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

This study investigates the asymmetry in heart rate (HRA) during fetal development in the fetus and mother. R-R intervals from noninvasive fetal and maternal ECG signals from 102 pregnant women whose gestational age ranges from 20 to 40 weeks were analyzed. Several HRA indices, which evaluate the accelerations and decelerations in RR interval time-series data, were utilized to examine the variations in HRA in both the fetus and the mother. Results showed that 74.5% of mothers showed asymmetry when measured using index Deceleration Input (DI
