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

Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Methods: We conducted a comprehensive literature search from database inception to November 2023 using terms such as placenta creta, increta, percreta, PAS, MRI, and their respective Medical Subject Headings terms. All prospective and retrospective cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies involving prenatal magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis of PAS with subsequent pathological confirmation were included. Results: A total of 40 studies encompassing 3664 women met the inclusion criteria, with 1894 cases confirmed pathologically as PAS. The overall sensitivity of MRI was 0.867 (95% confidence interval ( Conclusion: MRI demonstrates significant utility in diagnosing PAS and its severity. It is recommended for use in all cases with inconclusive ultrasonographic findings. Registration: Registration number CRD42021267501.
