Middle Cerebral Artery Doppler and Cerebroplacental Ratio Predict Adverse Neurological Outcomes in Fetal Growth Restriction.
Article in Prenatal diagnosis, 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
objectiveTo assess the efficacy of middle cerebral artery (MCA) Doppler ultrasonography in predicting neurological and respiratory outcomes in fetuses with fetal growth restriction (FGR) and to establish a correlation between MCA Doppler and head circumference (HC).
methodRetrospective cohort study examining singleton pregnancies affected by FGR (2018-2019). MCA and Cerebroplacental Ratio (CPR) Doppler indices (z-scores) alongside neonatal neurological and respiratory outcomes were gathered.
resultsMCA (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.32-0.82) and CPR (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.10-1.68) were identified as significant predictors of neurological outcomes (p < 0.05). Gestational age and CPR exhibited comparable univariate accuracy; however, the multivariate model demonstrated superior performance, achieving an area under the curve of 80.30%. Correlation analysis indicated a significant relationship between neonatal HC and MCA PI z-score in univariate analysis, but this was not confirmed in multivariate analysis.
conclusionMCA Doppler and CPR are effective predictors of adverse neurological outcomes in FGR, potentially aiding risk stratification in clinical practice.
