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

objectiveTo explore a simple quantitative method for detecting fetal abnormal Sylvian fissure (SF) on ultrasonographic screening and to investigate its value in fetuses with SF abnormalities.

methodsAs the control group, 128 patients were examined prospectively by 2D ultrasound from 22 to 31 gestational weeks. We measured the depth of the SF (SFD) and width of the SF (SFW) and defined a new parameter, namely, the SF ratio (SFR), as the ratio of the SFW to the SFD. Reference equations were constructed for the SF parameters and gestational age (GA). Thirty-eight fetuses with SF abnormalities were included in the study group.

resultsIn total, 310 ultrasound examinations were performed on 128 patients in the control group. The plateau-like insula was always present, and the SFD, SFW, and SFR increased with increasing gestational weeks between 22 and 31 gestational weeks. SFD (mm) = -1.48GA

conclusionsThe SFR was >0.7 from 22-24 gestational weeks, and a value >1 after 25 weeks may serve as a simple parameter for detecting abnormal SF. An abnormal SF tends to be an indicator of CNS anomalies, especially MCD.
