1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 assess the effect of antenatal diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) on fetomaternal outcomes. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2017 to December 2018. Women with PAS diagnosed antenatally were designated as group A and those where diagnosis was suspected during operation and confirmed on histopathology (PAS diagnosed perioperatively) were designated as group B. Outcome in terms of uterine conservation, maternal death, admission of mother to intensive care unit (ICU), perinatal death and neonatal ICU (NICU) admission were recorded. Results: During the study, PAS was confirmed in 96 cases which were included. Out of these, 34 (35.4%) cases were included in group A while 62 (64.6%) were diagnosed intraoperatively (group B). The median number of units of blood transfused was lower in group A compared to group B (4 vs 6, p<0.001). The uterus was conserved more often in group A compared with group B (67.6% vs 43.5%, p=0.024) while admission to ICU occurred significantly more often in group B (26.5% vs 59.7%, p=0.002). Maternal death (p=0.038) and perinatal death (p=0.008) were also significantly higher in group B. More neonates delivered to mothers in group B were admitted to NICU (85.7% vs 24%, p=0.033). Survival analysis showed a statistically significant increase in uterine conservation rate in group A compared with group B (log rank, p=0.04). Conclusion: PAS diagnosed antenatally has better fetomaternal outcome than intraoperative detection of PAS. Diagnosing PAS antenatally is therefore crucial to improve management and achieve a better outcome.
