B-Lynch Suture Management among Patients with Postpartum Hemorrhage in a Tertiary Care Centre: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: Postpartum haemorrhage is the most life-threatening complication during pregnancy and atonic postpartum haemorrhage being the commonest one, often poses difficulties in management. B-Lynch suture with a high success rate has emerged as a life-saving measure in uncontrolled atonic postpartum haemorrhage refractory to uterotonics. The objective of this study was to find out the prevalence of B-Lynch suture management among patients with post-partum haemorrhage in a tertiary care centre. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of a tertiary care centre from 1 April 2017 to 1 April 2021 after taking ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee of the same institution [Reference number: 497(6-11)C-2077/078]. All patients with post-partum haemorrhage during the study period were included in the study. Patients with traumatic post-partum haemorrhage, congenital malformations, complete placenta previa/accreta, bleeding disorders, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and retained bits of placenta were excluded from the study. A convenience sampling method was used. Point estimate and 90% Confidence Interval were calculated. Results: Out of 72 patients, 19 (26.39%) (17.85-34.93, 90% Confidence Interval) underwent B-Lynch suture management for atonic post-partum haemorrhage. Uterus salvage was done in 18 (94.74%) whereas 1 (5.26%) underwent a cesarean hysterectomy. Conclusions: The prevalence of the use of B-Lynch suture was similar to other studies done in similar settings. B-Lynch suture is a valuable addition for controlling intractable atonic primary postpartum haemorrhage refractory to uterotonics, thus saving the life as well as preserving the future fertility of the woman.
