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
introductionIn women with a regular cycle, reliable last menstrual period (LMP), and accurate crown-rump length (CRL) estimation, discrepancies in estimated date of delivery (EDD) may indicate impaired fetal growth and increased risk of morbidity. This study examines whether discrepancies between EDD based on LMP (EDD MATERIAL AND
methodsA Danish nationwide register-based cohort study including all singleton pregnancies with both CRL and LMP registered between 2008 and 2018. Exclusion criteria were uncertain LMP, irregular menstrual cycle, EDD discrepancies >±28 days, assisted reproductive technology, and missing outcome data. The cohort was stratified into seven groups according to EDD
resultsA total of 262 329 pregnancies were included; 16% had smaller and 21% had larger CRL than expected from LMP. Negative discrepancies were significantly associated with increased risk of chromosomal aberrations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and obstetric complications. In the -8 to -14 days group, 1.28% had a chromosomal abnormality (aOR 2.77 [95% CI 2.30-3.31]), and risk remained elevated among pregnancies at low combined first-trimester screening risk (aOR 1.95 [1.55-2.43]). For triploidy and trisomy 18, 91% and 59% of cases, respectively, had discrepancies of <-3 days. In the -8 to -14 days group, adverse pregnancy outcome occurred in 11.0% (aOR 1.49 [1.40-1.59]), and 6.5% had obstetric complications, mainly preeclampsia (aOR 1.19 [1.10-1.29]). Conversely, positive discrepancies were associated with reduced risk of chromosomal abnormalities (aOR 0.67 [0.44-0.96]) and adverse pregnancy outcomes (aOR 0.77 [0.69-0.86]) in the +8 to +14 days group.
conclusionsA smaller than expected CRL was strongly associated with chromosomal aberrations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and obstetric complications. Incorporating EDD discrepancies into risk algorithms for genetic disease, growth restriction, and preeclampsia may improve prediction and warrants further study.
