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 assess the quality control (QC) of ultrasound scanning at 11-14 weeks of gestation during the first stage in the China Early Pregnancy Ultrasound Cohort (CEPUC).

methodsA stratified random sampling strategy was employed for QC on ultrasound images from 525 single fetuses between 11 and 13

resultsThe median number of retained ultrasound scans per person was 16.0 (interquartile range: 15.0-17.0). The median scores for self-QC and second QC were 44 points (interquartile range: 40-47) and 43 points (interquartile range: 38-46), respectively. The second QC scores were significantly lower than the self-QC scores (P < 0.001), with 225 cases (42.9%) scoring lower and 280 cases (53.3%) scoring equally. Excluding image magnification, the three items with the lowest scoring rates among the other 37 were: (1) coronal view of the cervical spine to the sacrum (62.3%), (2) assessing regurgitation in the tricuspid valve spectrum of the heart (63.4%), and (3) obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) image of the choroid plexus Sect. (78.1%).

conclusionsQC in ultrasound is crucial for multicenter cohort studies, ensuring consistency and reliability across various sites. Both subjective and objective measurements should be seriously considered.
