Exploring the Evolving Landscape of Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy: A Quantitative Analysis and Clinical Survey.
Article in Fetal diagnosis and therapy, 2026. 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
introductionThe last 40 years have seen an increase in fetal diagnosis and therapy centers and the emergence of professional societies such as IFMSS, NAFTNet, iFetus, Eurofetus, and ISPD. Despite the progress and cross-collaboration, it is still unclear what resources are needed for the creation of new fetal diagnosis and treatment centers (FDTCs). Our study aimed to ascertain the key resources essential for effective FDTC implementation.
methodsA cross-sectional study using a questionnaire was distributed to providers at North American FDTCs. The questionnaire ranked the importance of providers, facilities, interventions, and resources. Data analysis used descriptive statistics and series cross-tabulations for significance.
resultsOverall, 40.2% completed the questionnaire. Maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists and pediatric surgeons (92%) predominated. Most centers were >10 years old. Critical resources included MFM providers, a dedicated nurse coordinator, high-resolution US capabilities, needle-based interventions, and patient access to an FDTC close to their home. Although specialty-based differences were not significant between newer and long-established centers, centers older than 10 years ranked additional surgical specialties and a mandatory reporting system as more important.
conclusionOur findings offer valuable insights into the perspectives of fetal therapy providers, informing the strategic allocation of resources for establishing new FDTCs.
