Evolving Features of RASopathies Among Pregnancies With Abnormal Fetal Fluid Collections.

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
objectiveWe aimed to characterize the fetal features across gestation and describe genotype-phenotype correlations for pregnancies with fetal RASopathies that were more severely affected as they presented with at least one abnormal fluid collection.
methodRetrospective cohort study of pregnancies with a fetal RASopathy and one or more abnormal fluid collections. Ultrasound and clinic databases were searched at six institutions to identify pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants indicating a fetal RASopathy. Phenotypic features were organized by gestational age to evaluate their evolution, and chi-square and Fisher exact proportions were compared.
resultsForty-six pregnancies were included. Pleural effusions, skin edema, ascites, and cardiac abnormalities presented across gestation. Cystic hygroma and jugular sacs presented in the first trimester and persisted into the second trimester. Hepatomegaly, polyhydramnios, small or absent stomach, and contractures were more frequent in the second and third trimesters. Contractures were more likely with HRAS variants (63% vs. 24%, p = 0.044) and increased nuchal translucency or cystic hygroma were more common with SOS1 variants (100% vs. 44%, p = 0.049).
conclusionThese data provide insight into genotype-phenotype correlations and the course of fetal RASopathies that present with at least one abnormal fluid collection. Timing of these phenotypes is important to consider for future research on targeted in utero approaches to management.
