Clinicoradiological and Histopathological Correlation of Placenta Accreta Spectrum in a Tertiary Care Center.

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
backgroundPlacenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is an obstetric condition linked to increased maternal morbidity and death. Early detection through clinical assessment and radiological imaging, particularly MRI, may be useful for prenatal diagnosis and surgical planning of selected cases of PAS. However, histological testing is still the gold standard for a conclusive diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic concordance of clinical and radiological findings with histology in PAS.
methodsThis case series was conducted in a tertiary care center and included 11 cases of histopathologically confirmed PAS. MRI finding, where available, were compared with histopathological analysis of hysterectomy specimens. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographics, comorbidities, and diagnostic methods.
resultsThe average age of the participants was 31.9 years. The prevalent comorbidities were hypothyroidism seen in four (37%) cases, anemia seen in three (27%) cases, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) seen in two (18%) cases. Clinical suspicion of PAS was present in seven of 11 (63.3%) cases, while MRI was performed in five cases and detected PAS in all five (100%) cases. Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis in all cases where clinical suspicion and MRI suggested the diagnosis.
conclusionIn this case series, though clinical evaluation and MRI contributed to antenatal detection of PAS, definitive diagnosis relied on histopathological examination. These findings emphasize the need of a comprehensive diagnostic approach for accurately identifying and managing the PAS.
