Feasibility of QSM in the human placenta.
Article in Magnetic resonance in medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
purposeQuantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is an emerging tool for the precise characterization of human tissue, including regional oxygenation. A critical function of the human placenta is oxygen transfer to the developing fetus, which remains difficult to study in utero. The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of performing QSM in the human placenta in utero.
methodsIn healthy pregnant women, 3D gradient echo data of the placenta were acquired with prospective respiratory gating at 1.5 Tesla and 3 Tesla. A brief period (6-7 min) of maternal hyperoxia was induced to increase placental oxygenation in a subset of women scanned at 3 Tesla, and data were acquired before and during oxygen administration. Susceptibility and
resultsA total of 54 women were studied at a mean gestational age of 30.7 ± 4.2 (range: 24 5/7-38 4/7) weeks. Susceptibility and
conclusionThis study demonstrates the feasibility of performing placental QSM in pregnant women and supports the potential for placental QSM to provide noninvasive in vivo assessment of placental oxygenation.
