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

objectiveIt is critical to early monitor and manage small-for-gestational age (SGA) infants with truly adverse outcomes not detected by conventional methods. We aimed to explore the value of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-based virtual magnetic resonance elastography (vMRE) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-based biexponential and stretched exponential parameters in predicting adverse outcomes of SGA infants.

methodsTwenty SGA infants with adverse outcomes and forty without adverse outcomes were included in this prospective study. One DWI-based vMRE parameter [the stiffness value (μ

resultsThe placental μ

conclusionsFunctional MRI parameters to quantify placenta elastography and microcirculation in SGA patients. This might be a useful tool to assess placental function and a vital non-invasive supplement for predicting adverse outcomes of SGA infants. CRITICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This prospective study shows DWI-based virtual magnetic resonance elastography and intravoxel incoherent motion-based functional parameters to quantify placenta elastography and microcirculation in small-for-gestational-age patients, which could complement existing non-invasive methods for monitoring and predicting neonatal perinatal adverse outcome. KEY POINTS: • vMRE is an emerging non-invasive imaging technique for evaluating placenta stiffness. • SGA infants with adverse outcome have stiffer placental elasticity and lower microcirculation. • Risk factors combination displayed better efficacy in predicting adverse outcomes of SGA.
