The relationship between placental thickness and gestational age in pregnant women: A cross-sectional study.
Article in Health science reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background and Aims: Estimating gestational age (GA) is of utmost importance to assess the condition of the fetus. Incorporating placental thickness and fetal biometrics in estimating GA may improve the accuracy of fetal age estimation. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between placental thickness and GA in pregnant women referred to Al-Zahra Hospital's prenatal and emergency clinic in Rasht, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on pregnant women referred to Al-Zahra Clinic for prenatal care over a 6-month period. After obtaining informed consent, data were collected on the date of the first day of the last safe menstruation, average body mass index, and medical and surgical history. Placental thickness was estimated using ultrasound and various clinical information was recorded. The data were then analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis in SPSS software version 21. Results: The results showed a significant correlation between GA and placental thickness ( Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that there is a significant increase in placental thickness with increasing GA during the first and second trimesters. Additionally, placental thickness significantly increased in the posterior placental position, as well as in women with high BMI. Therefore, it is recommended that measuring placental thickness should be routine during obstetric ultrasounds.
