Tourniquet on the low segment of the uterus reduces blood loss in postpartum hemorrhage during hysterectomy for placenta accreta: Old but gold.
Article in European journal of obstetrics & gynecology and reproductive biology: X, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: To investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficiency after application of a cervical tourniquet during caesarian hysterectomy owing to placenta accreta. Study design: It was a monocentric prospective observational study for 3 years. Patients were allocated into two group: Group Tourniquet: (TG) in which a cervical tourniquet was systematically applied during hysterectomy, control group (CG) when the caesarian hysterectomy was performed without. Results: 20 patients in the TG and 23 patients in the CG. Tourniquet application significantly reduced per operative estimated blood loss volume (TG: 530 ± 135 vs 940 ± 120 ml in the CG, p = 0.0074), ΔHB (0.6 [0.3-1.9] vs 2.5[2.5-3.6] g/dl in the CG, p = 0.006) RBC transfusion requirements' (TG: 2 ± 1.7 vs 4.3 ± 2.1 units in the CG, p = 0.046) procedure duration (TG: 98 ± 21 vs 137 ± 33 min in the CG, p = 0.015), clotting disorders (TG: 1 (5%) vs 6 (26,1%) in the CG, p = 0.013) and the incidence of bladder wounds (TG: 1 (5%) vs 5 (21,7%) in the CG, p = 0.048). There was no significant difference regarding ICU transfer rate (TG: 16 (80%) vs 20 (86.9%) in the CG, p = 0.53) or length of stay (TG: 1.4 [2,3] vs 2.3 [1-4] days in the CG, p = 0.615) and digestive wound (TG: 0 vs 2 (8,7%) in the CG, p = 0.641). Conclusion: In case of a radical management of placenta accreta. A strategy that involves the application of a cervical Tourniquet should be considered as a feasible, safe and above all efficient alternative to prevent blood spoliation.
