Morphological Macroscopical Placental Features of Pregnancies Complicated with Fetal Growth Restriction: a Case-Control Study.

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
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the morphological differences of the placentas, between normal and complicated with fetal growth restriction (FGR) gestations. Methods: In the present study, 60 women were prospectively enrolled between 2022-2024 and equally divided into a control group and a FGR one. We measured the weight and dimensions of the collected placentas as well as the diameter and insertion point of the umbilical cord. Results: The mean values of placental weight, surface, volume and maximum diameter showed a statistically significant difference between FGR and controls (p<0.001). Birth weight was positively corelated with umbilical cord diameter (r= 0.666, p<0.001) and placental weight (r= 0.803, p<0.001). Also, umbilical cord's peripheral insertion site and FGR were statistically significantly associated (χ Conclusion: Our results further support the current literature, demonstrating significant placental morphological differences between normal and FGR pregnancies. Considering the severe complications in FGR gestations, translating these findings in ultrasound imaging may introduce novice imaging biomarkers for early detection.
