You will be provided with the titles and abstracts of a collection of medical RCT reports studying a clinical question -- for instance, the efficacy of an intervention on some medical outcome. Please write a few sentences synthesizing the findings of these reports, which could serve as a conclusion section for a systematic review article. Your response should not include any other text. The RCT reports are below.



Title 1:
Routine formal fetal movement counting and risk of antepartum late death in normally formed singletons.
Abstract 1:
The routine recommendation to women to count fetal movements daily during late pregnancy for the prevention of antepartum late fetal death in normally formed singletons has been evaluated. 68,000 women were randomly allocated within thirty-three pairs of clusters either to a policy of routine counting or to standard care, which might involve selective use of formal counting or informal noting of movements. Antepartum death rates for normally formed singletons were similar in the two groups, regardless of cause of prior risk status. Despite the counting policy, most of these fetuses were dead by the time the mothers received medical attention. The study does not rule out a beneficial effect, but at best, the policy would have to be used by about 1250 women to prevent 1 unexplained antepartum late fetal death, and an adverse effect is just as likely. In addition, formal routine counting would use considerable extra resources.
This review does not provide enough evidence to influence practice. In particular, no trials compared fetal movement counting with no fetal movement counting. Robust research is needed in this area.
