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

Background: Indomethacin is administered to reduce preterm labor after fetoscopic laser photocoagulation (FLP) of placental anastomoses. Objective: To compare ductus arteriosus (DA) Doppler findings in monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome following FLP between cases treated with indomethacin and those treated with nifedipine. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, data of 86 pregnant women aged 17-41 yr who underwent FLP in Shariati hospital, Tehran, Iran from October 2024-November 2025 were extracted from medical records and then followed up. In the study, based on pulse rate, the cases were placed in one of 2 groups: nifedipine (pulse rate Results: Peak systolic velocity was higher in both donor (145.7 Conclusion: DA constriction is associated with significant changes in blood flow indices, a higher incidence of right ventricular dysfunction, and a greater prevalence of valvular regurgitation. In this study, fetal DA constriction resolved during the short-term follow-up period.
