Group exposed to nitrofen (75 fetuses). Comparison of mean weights according to presence or not of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

	No CDH (𝑛=43)	CDH (𝑛=32)	P
Fetal weight (mean)	4.44 g ± 0.70	4.36 g ± 0.73	0.58
Lung weight (mean)	0.053 g ± 0.05	0.039 g ± 0.02	0.00
Lung weight/fetal weight	0.0119 ± 0.01	0.0071 ± 0.01	0.00
