Reference charts for first-trimester placental three-dimensional fractional moving blood volume derived using OxNNet.
Observational study in Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo establish a comprehensive reference range for first-trimester placental three-dimensional (3D) single-vessel fractional moving blood volume (svFMBV) using the OxNNet toolkit, based on values observed in healthy pregnancies.
methodsThis study utilized data from the First-trimester Placental Ultrasound (FirstPLUS) study, a longitudinal observational cohort study conducted between March and November 2022 at King's College Hospital, London, UK. Participants underwent 3D ultrasound assessment of the placenta, including power Doppler imaging, during routine first-trimester screening. The OxNNet toolkit was used for automated placental segmentation and 3D-svFMBV calculation. Quality control was performed in three stages to ensure image completeness and segmentation accuracy. Quantile regression and lambda-mu-sigma (LMS) modeling were used to construct reference charts for 3D-svFMBV. Model fit was assessed using the Akaike information criterion, and centile curves were constructed.
resultsThe final cohort comprised 2547 cases. Visual assessment of histograms and quantile-quantile plots revealed positive skew in 3D-svFMBV determined at five specific locations within the uteroplacental vasculature. LMS modeling provided the best fit for constructing centile charts, with the Box-Cox Power Exponential original distribution used in most cases. The resulting centile charts demonstrated close agreement between predicted and observed centiles, with minimal deviation across all target centiles.
conclusionsThis study provides novel reference ranges for first-trimester placental 3D-svFMBV at five locations within the uteroplacental vasculature. These findings offer a valuable foundation for future research into placental function and pregnancy outcome. © 2026 The Author(s).
