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
Objective: To explore the micro blood flow characteristics of normal singleton pregnancy placenta in middle and late pregnancy based on microvascular flow (MV-Flow) imaging. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study. Clinical records and placental ultrasound images of 485 patients in mid to late pregnancy with normal fetal development who underwent MV-Flow microvascular imaging in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2023 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The gestational age of patients ranged from 22 to 38 weeks, and the biological measurements of the fetus during pregnancy were within the normal range. The patients were divided into six groups according to gestational age: 22-24W, 25-27W, 28-30W, 31-33W, 34-36W, and 37-39W. Results: During the middle and late stages of normal pregnancy, the placental microvasculature displayed grade three or higher blood flow branches. As the gestational age increased, the peak systolic velocity (PSV) of the fetal umbilical artery (UA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) gradually increased. The UA pulsatility index (PI), MCA-PI, and ductus venosus (DV) - PI gradually decreased with the gestational age (all Conclusions: Placental microvascular imaging based on MV-Flow can demonstrate a gradual increase in the microvascular flow velocity inside the placenta and a gradual decrease in the blood flow resistance with gestational age.
