Management of placenta percreta in a Jehovah's Witness patient.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Placenta percreta is increasing in incidence and is associated with the risk of life-threatening haemorrhage. Patients who do not accept blood products present a unique challenge to obstetrician-gynaecologists. In this case report, we present the case of a 42-year-old pregnant Jehovah's Witness with a complete placenta previa and confirmed percreta at 26 weeks' gestation. Due to her religious beliefs against the use of blood products, she was managed with a stepwise surgical approach which involved caesarean delivery with internal iliac (hypogastric) artery ligation, weekly methotrexate and delayed hysterectomy 6 weeks later. Non-traditional, alternative approaches to the management of abnormal placentation in patients declining blood products warrant exploration.
