Association Between Fetal Nuchal Translucency Measurements and Pregnancy Outcomes.
Article in International journal of women's health, 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
Objective: To explore the optimal cutoff value of fetal nuchal translucency (NT) in the Shihezi region and analyze the predictive value of NT and high-risk factors for pregnancy outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study included pregnant women who underwent NT screening at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University between January 2021 and December 2023. Prenatal examination results and pregnancy outcomes were collected and analyzed. The optimal cutoff value of NT for predicting pregnancy outcomes was calculated. Results: Using NT=2.5mm as the cutoff value, three groups were defined (<2.5mm, 2.5-3.5mm, ≥3.5mm). For NT≥2.0mm, the AUC for predicting outcomes was 0.652 (P<0.001). NT thickening was significantly associated with ≥2 abnormalities in soft ultrasound indicators, structural abnormalities (P<0.001), chromosomal abnormalities (P=0.008), and adverse outcomes (P<0.001). Compared with the NT<2.5 mm group, the risk of adverse outcomes increased with NT thickness (OR=2.009, 95% CI: 1.472-2.743, for 2.5-3.5mm; OR=13.090, 95% CI: 6.571-26.074, for ≥3.5mm). The top three adverse pregnancy outcomes were: 210 cases of macrosomia (7%), 158 cases of preterm birth (5.3%), and 109 cases of structural abnormalities (3.6%). As NT thickened, structural abnormalities, chromosomal abnormalities, and miscarriage were correlated with NT (P<0.05). HDP was associated with fetal growth retardation and preterm birth (P<0.001). Maternal age ≥35 was linked to structural abnormalities (P=0.017) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (P<0.001). Conclusion: NT=2.5mm is the cutoff value of NT thickening in Shihezi area; structural and chromosomal abnormalities and miscarriage are related to the degree of NT thickening; NT, age and HDP are independent risk factors affecting pregnancy outcome, and age is associated with GDM. NT cannot serve as an independent risk factor for adverse pregnancy outcomes and should be evaluated in conjunction with prenatal screening ultrasound and maternal high-risk factors.
