Placenta Accreta Spectrum (PAS) Disorder: Ultrasound versus Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivePAS is one of the most dangerous conditions associated with pregnancy and remains undiagnosed before delivery in from half to two-thirds of cases. Correct prenatal diagnosis is essential to reduce the burden of maternal and fetal morbidity. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the accuracy of US and MRI in the diagnosis of PAS. STUDY
designIn this retrospective study, 104 patients with suspected placenta accreta were enrolled and had been investigated with US and MRI. They were divided into four groups: no PAS, accreta, increta, and percreta.
resultsCompared to MRI, US results were higher in the diagnosis and in the identification of PAS severity (85% US vs. 80% MRI). For both methods, in the case of posterior placenta, there is greater difficulty in identifying the presence/absence of the disease (67% in both methods) and the severity level (61% US vs. 55% MRI).
conclusionUS, properly implemented with the application of defined and standardized scores, can be superior to MRI and absolutely sufficient for the diagnosis of PAS, limiting the use of MRI to a few doubtful cases and to cases in which surgical planning is necessary.
