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

Tremendous advances in ultrasound equipment and knowledge have expanded possibilities for the first trimester detailed ultrasound examination. Recommendations from national organizations to offer this service to patients with indications, coupled with recent modifications for dual use of the current procedural terminology code 76811 during pregnancy, will result in increased demand from patients and referring physicians. While proper reimbursement may motivate healthcare professionals to incorporate the first trimester detailed ultrasound examination into their practice and raise the standards of care in the first trimester, it can also be a challenging transition. In this article, we present a practical approach and share tips and pearls on how to incorporate the first trimester detailed ultrasound into clinical practice.
