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

Uterine compression suture and intrauterine hemostatic balloon are important procedures to achieve hemostasis for obstetric hemorrhage. A combined use of these two, with B-Lynch suture + Bakri balloon being the most often employed ones, is referred to as a "uterine sandwich", which is an effective hemostatic procedure. Fundamentally, the former and latter stop bleeding from the uterine body and lower uterine segment, respectively. This represents the concept of "role sharing" for hemostasis. Recognizing this concept is of practical importance.
