Evaluation of the holding-up uterus technique for placenta accreta spectrum cesarean hysterectomy in shocked patients with a high shock index: a case series study.
Article in BMC surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPlacenta accreta spectrum (PAS) cesarean hysterectomy is performed under conditions of shock and can result in serious complications. This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the "Holding-up uterus" surgical technique with a shock index (S.I.) > 1.5.
methodsTwelve patients who underwent PAS cesarean hysterectomy were included in the study.
resultsGroup I had S.I. > 1.5, and group II had S.I. ≤ 1.5. Group I had more complications, but none were above Grade 3 or fatal. Preoperative scheduled uterine artery embolization did not result in serious complications, but three patients who had emergency common iliac artery balloon occlusion (CIABO) and a primary total hysterectomy with S.I. > 1.5 had postoperative Grade 2 thrombosis. Two patients underwent manual ablation of the placenta under CIABO to preserve the uterus, both with S.I. > 1.5.
conclusionsThe study found that the "Holding-up uterus" technique was safe, even in critical situations with S.I. > 1.5. CIABO had no intervention effect. The study also identified assisted reproductive technology pregnancies with a uterine cavity length of less than 5 cm before conception as a critical factor.
