1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPlacenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a rare, life-threatening complication of pregnancy. Predicting PAS severity is critical to individualise care planning for the birth. We aim to explore whether radiomic analysis of T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict severe cases by distinguishing between histopathological subtypes antenatally.

methodsThis was a bi-centre retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study conducted between 2018 and 2022. Women who underwent MRI during pregnancy and had histological confirmation of PAS were included. Radiomic features were extracted from T2-weighted images. Univariate regression and multivariate analyses were performed to build predictive models to differentiate between non-invasive (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] grade 1 or 2) and invasive (FIGO grade 3) PAS using R software. Prediction performance was assessed based on several metrics including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and area under the curve (AUC) at receiver operating characteristic analysis.

resultsForty-one women met the inclusion criteria. At univariate analysis, 0.64 sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0-1.00), specificity 0.93 (0.38-1.0), 0.58 accuracy (0.37-0.78) and 0.77 AUC (0.56-.097) was achieved for predicting severe FIGO grade 3 PAS. Using a multivariate approach, a support vector machine model yielded 0.30 sensitivity (95% CI 0.18-1.0]), 0.74 specificity (0.38-1.00), 0.58 accuracy (0.40-0.82), and 0.53 AUC (0.40-0.85).

conclusionOur results demonstrate a predictive potential of this machine learning pipeline for classifying severe PAS cases. RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This study demonstrates the potential use of radiomics from MR images to identify severe cases of placenta accreta spectrum antenatally. KEY POINTS: • Identifying severe cases of placenta accreta spectrum from imaging is challenging. • We present a methodological approach for radiomics-based prediction of placenta accreta. • We report certain radiomic features are able to predict severe PAS subtypes. • Identifying severe PAS subtypes ensures safe and individualised care planning for birth.
