Amniotic fluid neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and L-type fatty acid-binding protein levels in predicting long-term prognosis in fetal growth restriction and preterm birth: a preliminary study.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: The fetal intrauterine environment, including inflammation and fetal hypoxia, influences both short- and long-term prognoses. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and L-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) levels are associated with inflammation and organ hypoperfusion, respectively. In this study, we evaluated the association between amniotic fluid NGAL and L-FABP levels measured at delivery and long-term outcomes. Methods: Adverse outcomes were defined as hearing loss, neurodevelopmental impairment, and cerebral palsy. Thirty-one singleton pregnancies were categorized into groups with (AD group, Results: Significant differences in the prevalence of fetal blood flow abnormalities ( Discussion: Amniotic fluid NGAL and L-FABP levels were associated with adverse long-term outcomes, providing preliminary, proof-of-concept evidence of their potential prognostic relevance. Further prospective studies with larger cohorts are needed to validate these findings and clarify their clinical applicability.
