Prevention of stillbirths associated with umbilical cord abnormalities: A clinico-pathological overview.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 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
Stillbirths affect millions of pregnancies every year worldwide, and obstruction of the umbilical cord blood flow is one of the main causes of fetal death. This review provides a clinico-pathological overview of cord abnormalities potentially associated with antepartum stillbirth, describing the mechanism determining the death and addressing suggestions about the possibility of stillbirth prevention. Fatal effects on the fetal circulatory system can occur due to various umbilical cord abnormalities, both in cases of acquired anomalies (i.e., multiple tight nuchal cords and true knots) or congenital anomalies (i.e., aneurysmatic malformation, stricture, abnormalities of cord insertion in the fetal or placenta site such as velamentous or furcate cord insertion). In pregnancies with an identification of umbilical cord abnormality, ultrasound signs of fetal well-being could be monitored over time. Although close monitoring cannot prevent a sudden lethal obstruction of umbilical cord vessels, it could identify the development of long-lasting signs of fetal decompensation, possibly preventing fetal death.
