Qatar population-specific centile charts of placental weight in 80 722 newborns: relation to maternal age, gestational age, newborn birth weight, and gender, between the 37 th and 42 nd weeks of gestation.
Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundData about placental weight (PW) in relation to birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA) are lacking in Arabic countries. AIMS OF THE STUDY: (a) to find out the national PW standards for babies born between 37th and 42nd weeks of gestation in male and female babies born in Qatar; (b) to study the relation, if any, between PW and maternal age, gestational age (GA), birth weight (BW), and gender of the newborn. MATERIALS AND
methodsA National population-based retrospective chart review study was conducted between 1-2016 to 12-2019 (n = 80 722). Data of gestational age (GA) at delivery (in weeks), newborn birth weight (BW), PW, and gender at birth, were collected from singleton babies born between 37 th and 42nd weeks of gestation.
resultsThe PW ranged from 440 to 860 grams (g) with a mean of 682 ± 96 g. at term for boys and 673 ± 94 g. for girls. The mean BW was 3 036 ± 448 g and BW/PW ratio was 0.203 ± 0.026. The PW continued to increase through 41 weeks' gestation, in boys and girls with a significant decrease at the 42nd week of gestation. PW was significantly correlated with BW (r = 0.596, P: < 0.001) and GA (r = 0.15, P: <0.001) and accounted for 43.4% of the explained variability in birth weight.
conclusionsPW was a significant predictor of BW with a consistent increase in PW until the 41st week of gestation in boys and girls and a positive correlation with BW and GA.
