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
Objectives: To describe the simplicity, efficacy and safety of A. Chohan Continuous Squeezing Suture (ACCSS) for controlling haemorrhage from the lower uterine segment at caesarean section for placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders. Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 47 patients with placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders from February 2019 to May 2022 in two teaching hospitals of Lahore and ACCSS was applied. The outcome measures were peripartum hysterectomy procedure time, estimated blood loss, number of blood transfusions, duration of stay in the hospital, bladder trauma, uterine necrosis, pelvic abscess formation, secondary postpartum haemorrhage and maternal mortality. Descriptive statistics were calculated by using SPSS version 21. Results: Out of 47 patients, 7 (15%) had placenta creta, 29 (61.7%) increta, 11 (23.3%) percreta (grade 3a), and 36 (76.6%) central anterior dominant placenta. Peripartum hysterectomy was prevented in 97.8% of patients. ACCSS procedure time was 5-10 minutes (87.2%), with mean blood loss 2500±485 ml, mean blood transfusion 1.85±1.02 units and mean hospital stay of 3.3±0.84 days. One patient had bladder trauma. There was no case of uterine necrosis, pelvic abscess formation, secondary postpartum haemorrhage or maternal mortality. Conclusion: ACCSS appears to be a simple, effective and safe treatment option for placenta praevia and accreta spectrum disorders, as an alternative to hysterectomy.
