New dedicated blunt straight needles and sutures for uterine compression sutures: a retrospective study and literature review.
Review in BMC surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundWe developed a dedicated blunt straight needle with No. 2 polydioxanone sutures (2-Monodiox®) for uterine compression sutures (UCSs) and aimed to assess the outcomes and complication rates of UCSs for postpartum hemorrhage by comparing with commercially available needle and suture types.
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed between January 2010 and February 2018. During the study period, two types of commercially available sutures and 2-Monodiox® were used. PubMed, MEDLINE, and Scopus databases were searched for English articles published between January 1997 and May 2017 using search terms related to the suture and needle types for UCSs to discuss the dedicated needles and sutures for UCS.
resultsThe analysis included 47 cases of UCSs for the uterine body with three suture types (No. 0 polydioxanone, 7 cases; No. 1 poliglecaprone 25, 21 cases; and No. 2 polydioxanone, 19 cases). B-Lynch suture using No. 0 sutures was associated with a significantly lower uterine preservation rate than those with Nos. 1 and 2 sutures (42.9% vs. 95.2 and 89.5%, respectively; p < 0.01). A modified Hayman suture technique was performed using 2-Monodiox® sutures, which achieved a similar uterine preservation rate compared with B-Lynch suture using No. 1 poliglecaprone 25 sutures. No patients developed severe complications. The literature review showed that no dedicated sutures have developed for UCSs. Three dedicated needles for UCSs have been developed, and 2-Monodiox® is the first dedicated blunt straight needle for UCSs.
conclusionOur data showed that No. 0 sutures should not be used for B-Lynch suture. The uterine preservation rate is similar for 2-Monodiox® with modified Hayman suture and No. 1 poliglecaprone 25 sutures with B-Lynch suture, without the occurrence of severe complications.
