From light to sound: Seeing and hearing the placenta in health and disease.
Review in Science advances, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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 pregnancy-specific organ, functioning as the maternal-fetal interface and mediating essential processes including exchange, protection, and endocrine regulation. Placental abnormalities contribute to the pathophysiology, onset, progression, and prognosis of major perinatal disorders, making imaging modalities that enable their detection and monitoring crucial. Ultrasound (US) imaging is the principal modality for placental imaging, providing structural assessment with B-mode and blood flow evaluation with Doppler mode. Furthermore, advanced techniques such as 3D power Doppler, quantitative US, and shear-wave elastography expand the capabilities of placental US imaging. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging enables observation of the optical properties of endogenous chromophores (e.g., hemoglobin) with high spatial resolution and measures blood oxygenation, a key factor in placental dysfunction, offering substantial value for placental imaging. In this review, we cover US/PA imaging techniques for placental imaging, including preclinical and clinical studies. In addition, by considering current limitations and potential solutions, we suggest future trajectories for the advancement of US/PA imaging in this field.
