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

purposeThis work aims to enable real-time automated intra-uterine volumetric reporting and fetal weight estimation for fetal MRI, deployed directly on the scanner.

methodsA multi-region segmentation nnUNet was trained on 146 images of 73 fetal subjects (coronal and axial orientations) for the parcellation of the fetal head, fetal body, placenta, amniotic fluid, and umbilical cord from whole uterus bSSFP stacks. A reporting tool was then developed to integrate the segmentation outputs into an automated report, providing volumetric measurements, fetal weight estimations, and z-score visualizations. The complete pipeline was subsequently deployed on a 0.55T MRI scanner, enabling real-time inference and fully automated reporting in the duration of the acquisition.

resultsThe segmentation pipeline was quantitatively and retrospectively evaluated on 36 stacks of 18 fetal subjects and demonstrated sufficient performance for all labels, with high scores (

conclusionsThis work demonstrated the feasibility of multi-regional intra-uterine segmentation, fetal weight estimation, and automated reporting in real-time. This study provides a robust baseline solution for the integration of fully automated scanner-based measurements into fetal MRI reports.
