1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectivesTo evaluate automated right- and left-ventricular myocardial performance index (Mod-MPI) using the Samsung Hera W10 (MPI+™) system in fetuses with late-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to explore its association with Doppler parameters and perinatal outcomes.

methodsThis prospective study included 177 singleton pregnancies between 32 and 39 weeks of gestation-87 with late-onset FGR and 90 gestational-age-matched controls. Fetal echocardiography and Doppler examinations were performed using the Samsung Hera W10 system with integrated MPI+™ software. Automated right and left Mod-MPI, atrioventricular valve E/A ratios, and Doppler indices were recorded. Neonatal outcomes were analyzed in relation to MPI measurements.

resultsRight-ventricular MPI and isovolumic contraction time (ICT) were significantly increased in FGR fetuses compared with controls (p = .001), whereas left-ventricular MPI showed no significant difference. Umbilical artery PI and RI were higher, and CPR and umbilical peak systolic velocity were lower in FGR. Right-sided MPI correlated negatively with gestational age, birth weight, and Apgar scores.

conclusionAutomated right-ventricular Mod-MPI provides a reproducible, objective indicator of early cardiac dysfunction in late-onset FGR. Elevation of right-sided MPI and prolongation of contraction time may reflect early myocardial adaptation preceding classical Doppler deterioration.
