Functional diagnosis of placenta accreta by intravoxel incoherent motion model diffusion-weighted imaging.
Article in European radiology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
objectivesTo investigate the diagnostic value of intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) DWI for placenta accreta by comparing diffusion and perfusion characteristics of placentas with accreta lesions (APs) with those of normal placentas (NPs).
methodsTwenty-five pregnant women with AP and 24 with NP underwent 3-T magnetic resonance examinations with IVIM-DWI. The perfusion percentage (f), pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*), and diffusion coefficient (D) values were calculated from different ROIs: the entire-plane of the AP (AP-ROI) and NP (NP-ROI) and the implanted (IR-ROI) and non-implanted region (NIR-ROI) of the AP. The AP-ROIs and NP-ROIs were compared using covariance analysis; the IR-ROIs and NIR-ROIs were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. ROC curves were produced to evaluate the parameters for predicting placenta accreta.
resultsThe f and D* values for the AP-ROIs ([45.0 ± 7.63]%, [11.64 ± 2.15]mm
conclusionsThese results suggest that the IVIM parameters f and D* can be used to quantitatively evaluate the higher perfusion of AP when compared with NP. Furthermore, IVIM may be a useful functional diagnostic technique to predict placenta accreta. KEY POINTS: • Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) may be a useful diagnostic technique to quantitatively estimate the perfusion of the placenta. • The perfusion percentage (f) and pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) values differed significantly between placentas with accreta lesions and normal placentas. • ROC curves showed that perfusion percentage (f) and pseudo-diffusion coefficient (D*) values could accurately predict placenta accreta.
