The relevance of placenta MRI diffusion-derived vessels density and morphological features in diagnosing placenta accreta spectrum.
Article in BMC medical imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesMRI morphological features are postulated to represent PAS (placenta accreta spectrum), while diffusion-derived vessel density (DDVD) computed from a simple diffusion MRI protocol is a new imaging biomarker representing perfusion. This study aims to explore the relevance of DDVD and MRI morphological features in diagnosing PAS.
methodsWe enrolled 86 patients with PAS and 40 pregnant women without PAS. Each case underwent intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) MRI sequence with 11 b-values. DDVD was the signal difference between b = 0 and b = 50 s/mm
resultsDDVDr(placenta) and DDVDr(interface) were significantly higher in patients with severe PAS (median, 1.194 and 1.230) than those in non-PAS (1.024 and 1.016, both p < 0.001). T2 dark bands and abnormal intraplacental vascularity were identified as predictors for all-inclusive PAS and severe PAS. DDVDr(interface) was significantly higher in patients manifested with T2 dark bands and abnormal intraplacental vascularity (median, 1.242 vs. 1.116, 1.230 vs. 1.126 p < 0.05). When DDVDr(interface) and the MRI morphological features were combined for predicting all-inclusive PAS and severe PAS, the AUC reached 0.894 and 0.916, respectively.
conclusionThe combination of placenta MRI diffusion-derived vessels density and qualitative can be used for the accurate prediction of PAS.
