Estimation of Gestational Age by Using Fetal Kidney Length in Comparison with Other Biometric Indices.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Fetal kidney length (FKL) has emerged as a promising alternative, with a strong correlation to gestational age, particularly in the third trimester. Aim: To determine the accuracy of FKL in estimating fetal gestational age by ultrasonography and comparing its efficacy with other biometric indices. Materials and Methods: A comparative observational study was conducted at Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry, involving 110 antenatal women with singleton pregnancies between 20 and 40 weeks of gestation. Ultrasound examinations were performed using a Mindray DC 80 machine with a 3.5-5 MHz curvilinear probe. Gestational age was estimated using FKL and compared with standard biometric indices. Pearson correlation analysis and independent Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between FKL and gestational age ( Conclusion: FKL is a reliable parameter for gestational age estimation, particularly in the third trimester. Its strong correlation with standard biometric indices supports its use as an adjunct in prenatal ultrasound assessments, especially in cases where conventional measurements are inconclusive.
