Effect of home ultrasound in patients with previous late pregnancy loss: an interventional study.
Trial report in Archives of gynecology 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of incorporating twice-weekly telemedicine home ultrasound sessions on maternal anxiety and antenatal attachment in pregnant patients with a history of late pregnancy loss.
methodsIn this quasi-randomized trial, pregnant patients with a previous pregnancy loss beyond 20 weeks of gestation were randomized per day of enrollment to standard high-risk care (control) or additional twice-weekly home ultrasound sessions (intervention). Maternal anxiety and antenatal attachment were assessed at baseline, mid-pregnancy, and final prenatal visit using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale (STAI-S) and the Maternal Antenatal Attachment Scale (MAAS-2). The primary outcome was the STAI-S score at the final visit. A total of 50 participants (25 per group) were required to detect a 20% difference in the primary outcome.
resultsDemographics were comparable between groups. The intervention group demonstrated significantly lower STAI-S scores at mid-pregnancy (46.7 ± 9.3 vs. 52.0 ± 9.0; p = 0.023) and at the final visit (43.6 ± 11.8 vs. 51.5 ± 11.5; p = 0.004), and higher MAAS-2 scores at the final visit (79.5 ± 6.2 vs. 75.0 ± 6.9; p = 0.022). Attachment scores increased significantly during follow-up (4.8 ± 7.3 vs. - 0.36 ± 8.0; p = 0.023). Emergency department visits were fewer in the intervention group (3.1 ± 1.5 vs. 4.9 ± 3.3; p = 0.024). Regression analyses confirmed independent associations between home ultrasound use, reduced anxiety, and improved attachment.
conclusionTelemedicine home ultrasound significantly reduced maternal anxiety and improved antenatal attachment in patients with prior late pregnancy loss. This reassurance strategy may also decrease unscheduled emergency visits, supporting its integration into standard prenatal management in this vulnerable population.
