Article in International journal of MCH and AIDS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and Objective: Fetal anomalies or birth defects are structural or functional abnormalities that occur before birth, often leading to significant health issues. The burden of fetal anomalies among antenatal mothers attending a public referral hospital in urban Bangalore is a critical public health concern, reflecting broader issues of maternal and child health in India. Factors such as consanguinity, genetic disorders, and delayed access to healthcare contribute to the high prevalence of anomalies in the country. This study aimed to determine the magnitude and types of fetal anomalies detected through routine ultrasound in an urban referral hospital in Bangalore and to explore associations with maternal demographic and socioeconomic factors. Methods: This ambispective study analyzed data from 1432 antenatal mothers who underwent ultrasound screening from July 2021 to June 2022. It included a retrospective review of medical records and a prospective follow-up for pregnancies with detected anomalies. Data on maternal age, consanguinity, parity, and other maternal risk factors were collected using logistic regression to explore associations with congenital anomalies. Results: Fetal anomalies were detected in 2.9% of pregnancies ( Conclusions and Global Health Implications: The study highlights congenital anomalies, particularly renal anomalies, that are prevalent in a public hospital in urban Bangalore. It emphasizes the importance of early antenatal care, targeted-screening, and genetic counseling for at-risk population due to consanguinity. Timely detection and intervention could improve maternal and neonatal outcomes.
