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

Background: This systematic review aimed to assess the correlation between placental thickness and gestational age, as well as to create normative reference tables and charts. We evaluated the association between placental thickness and gestational age from 12 to 40 weeks in normal singleton pregnancies. Methods: A thorough search of various databases was performed from inception to October 31, 2024, focusing on uncomplicated singleton pregnancies. A weighted mean of placental thickness was calculated weekly from the mean placental thicknesses obtained between the 12 Results: Our systematic review incorporated 20 eligible studies involving 7955 participants, with 3,601 observations between 12 and 27 weeks and 4354 observations between 28 and 40 weeks. There was a strong positive correlation ( Conclusion: These charts are particularly useful in limited resource settings, providing clinicians with a tool to estimate gestational age accurately.
