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

Twin pregnancies are at increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Ultrasound imaging is a critical component of twin management, allowing earlier identification and management of potential complications. Ultrasound for twin gestations should begin in the first trimester, and the timing of follow-up scans is based on the chorionicity and amnionicity of the gestation. In dichorionic twins, ultrasound can detect discordant malformations, discordant growth, and increased risk for preterm delivery. In monochorionic twins, ultrasound not only allows similar surveillance as for dichorionic twins but also monitors for evidence of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), twin anemia polycythemia sequence (TAPS), selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR), and twin reversed arterial perfusion (TRAP) sequence that may require in utero surgical intervention.
