Measurement of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in fetal organs and placenta using 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) across gestational ages.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2024. 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
Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is a technique used to probe the random microscopic motion of water protons in living tissue, represented by a parameter measurement of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values. This study aimed to measure the ADC values of various fetal organs and placenta using 3T at various gestational ages. This was a prospective observational study. A total of 103 singleton pregnancies from 20 to 38 weeks of gestational age were included. Diffusion-weighted imaging was performed in the axial plane from the fetal head to the trunk with the following parameters: TR: 2000-2500 ms; TE: 88 ms; FOV: 250 mm; 256 matrix; slice thickness: 4 mm with a 0 mm gap; acquisition time: 1 min, 18 s. Diffusion gradient values were b = 0 and b = 700 s/mm
