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

objectiveTo investigate the clinical utility of ultrasound-guided balloon occlusion in cesarean section in patients with sinister placenta previa.

methodsThe Interventional and Ultrasound Departments of the authors' center assisted obstetrics to complete cesarean section in cases of sinister placenta previa. A total of 130 patients with implanted sinister placenta previa were diagnosed using obstetrical ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Before cesarean section, the balloon was positioned in the bilateral radial or abdominal aorta. Immediately after delivery of the fetus, the balloon was temporarily filled to transiently seal the target vessel. According to the obstetrician's assessment of hemostasis, the balloon was withdrawn at the appropriate time. Among the 130 patients, there was one case of abdominal aortic occlusion, with 129 cases blocked by the bilateral common iliac artery.

resultsAll 130 cases were successfully blocked, with an average blocking time of <15 ​min, while intraoperative blood loss was 800-1500 ​ml.

conclusionUltrasound-guided balloon blocking treatment before cesarean section can mitigate the dangers of placenta previa and significantly reduce blood loss with no exposure to X-ray radiation. Thus, the technique merits serious consideration.
