Ultrasonographic Measurement of the Fetal Foot Length and the Ratio of the Fetal Femur to Foot Length to Determine the Fetal Gestational Age.

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: Accurate estimation of fetal gestational age (GA) is critical for optimal prenatal care. Fetal foot length (FFL) has emerged as a promising alternative due to its relatively stable growth pattern throughout gestation. Additionally, the femur-to-foot length (FL/FFL) ratio has been proposed as a method to enhance GA estimation accuracy. Aim: This study aimed to assess relationship between sonographic GA and FFL. Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Radiology at Aarupadai Veedu Medical College and Hospital, Puducherry. A total of 90 antenatal women with singleton pregnancies between 16 and 34 weeks of gestation were included. FFL and femur length were measured using a Mindray DC 80 ultrasound scanner. Pearson correlation analysis and independent Results: GA corresponded with ultrasound findings in 93.3% of participants. A strong positive correlation was observed between GA and FFL ( Conclusion: Fetal foot length is a reliable marker for GA estimation and exhibits strong correlations with other biometric indices. The stable FL/FFL ratio further supports its use as a supplementary parameter in assessing fetal growth.
