Clinical analysis of uterine artery embolization combined with double balloon catheter plus curettage for patients with placenta previa who underwent pregnancy termination and suffered antenatal massive hemorrhage in the 2nd trimester: Three case reports.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
rationaleIt is very difficult to treat patients with placenta previa who underwent pregnancy termination and suffered antenatal massive hemorrhage in the 2nd trimester. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this study, case 1 was with fetal malformation of 18-trisomy syndrome at gestation of 19 weeks + 2 days, case 2 was with fetal malformation of 18-trisomy syndrome at gestation of 22 weeks + 1 day, and case 3 was for intrauterine fetal death at gestation of 27 weeks. All the 3 cases were completely placenta previa. DIAGNOSES: For the 3 patients, completely placenta previa was confirmed by ultrasound examination after hospitalization and underwent pregnancy termination for fetal death or fetal malformation in the 2nd trimester.
interventionsThe 3 patients with placenta previa underwent pregnancy termination by mifepristone combined with ethacridine lactate in the 2nd trimester for intrauterine fetal death or fetal malformation from June 2017 to May 2018, and suffered antenatal massive hemorrhage during termination. Uterine artery embolization (UAE) was immediately performed to achieve hemostasis, then double balloon catheter (DBC) was carried out to promote cervical ripen, at last curettage was implemented with the help of ultrasound. After all these procedures, the clinical outcomes were observed. OUTCOMES: The antenatal bleeding volume of these 3 patients were about 500, 600, and 550 mL. After implementing the combined treatment, all patients completed the abortion. The UAE-DBC time interval and DBC-curettage time interval were 58.4 and 6.0 hours, respectively, for case 1, whereas almost 0 (i.e., immediately) for cases 2 and 3. Case 1 had a fever lasting for 3 days, and the maximum body temperature was up to 39°C after UAE. Moreover, the blood culture was positive for Escherichia coli after curettage in case 1, whereas it was negative in the other 2 cases. LESSONS: The UAE-DBC-curettage combined treatment is safe and effective for patients with placenta previa who undergo pregnancy termination and suffered massive antenatal hemorrhage in the 2nd trimester. Future studies are needed to advance our observation.
