Recent innovations in placental MRI: Integrating visualization and functional imaging.
Review in Placenta, 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
The placenta is a highly specialized organ that regulates oxygen, nutrient, and waste exchange between the maternal and fetal circulations and is essential for normal fetal development and pregnancy outcome. Placental dysfunction underlies many obstetric complications, including fetal growth restriction, pre-eclampsia, congenital heart disease, and stillbirth, yet in vivo assessment of placental structure and function remains limited in routine clinical care. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has emerged as a powerful, noninvasive modality for placental evaluation, offering whole-organ coverage, superior soft-tissue contrast, and the ability to interrogate placental morphology, microstructure, perfusion, and oxygenation across gestation. This review summarizes recent advances in structural, microstructural, and functional placental MRI, with emphasis on quantitative and multimodal approaches. Emerging integrated and multicontrast frameworks that capture placental spatiotemporal heterogeneity and disentangle maternal, fetal, and tissue compartments are highlighted. Finally, we address key technical challenges, including physiological confounders. Continued methodological advancement and large longitudinal studies are essential to translate placental MRI into clinically robust measures of placental health.
