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: The study describes the diagnose of fetal micrognathia by the two-dimensional and real-time three-dimensional color doppler ultrasound, and evaluates its clinical value. Methodology: The case group comprised 100 fetuses with highly suspected mandibular deformity, and the control group consisted of 100 normal fetuses. Various ultrasonic equipments and multimedia data processing system were used to obtain 2D and 3D images of fetal mandible, and the Biparietal Diameter (BPD) and Fetal Mandibular Longitudinal Diameter (FML) were measured. The Jaw Indices (JI) and Inferior Facial Angle (IFA) were calculated, and all suspected cases underwent chromosome examination. Eight confirmed cases of mandibular deformity were identified in the case group. Results: This study examined eight cases of fetal micrognathia and found positive correlations between transverse diameters and FMLs of normal fetuses and gestational weeks. There was no significant correlation between JI, IFA, and gestational weeks. The study also compared JI, IFA, and FML between normal and small mandibular groups, finding significant differences. The smallest FML in the small mandibular group was only approximately equal to the normal fetus FML in the 18th week. Conclusion: The study provides insights into the measurement and analysis of fetal micrognathia. Combining FML, JI, and IFA with ultrasonic diagnosis reduces fetal micrognathia misdiagnosis.
