A Needle Lasso Method for Port Site Closure and Amniotic Membrane Plication in Fetoscopic Surgery.
Article in BJOG : an international journal of obstetrics and gynaecology, 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
introductionAmniotic membrane plication is associated with lower rates of preterm birth following fetoscopy.
methodsWe describe a novel needle lasso technique for amniotic membrane plication during port site closure in laparotomy- and mini-laparotomy-assisted fetoscopic spina bifida repair.
resultThis approach enables precise placement of full-thickness sutures around the port tract, even when direct suturing is technically challenging. We achieved amniotic membrane plication in all the cases, and delivery beyond 34 weeks of gestation without membrane-related complications.
conclusionThese findings support the technique's feasibility. Larger studies are needed to corroborate the results and potentially broaden their application in fetoscopic surgery.
