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

Pseudoaneurysm formation often occurs when there is inadequate sealing at an arterial puncture site. We present the case of a 27-year-old primigravida with rheumatic heart disease and a history of mitral valve replacement on anticoagulants who experienced recurrent episodes of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Despite conservative management and adjustments to anticoagulant therapy, the bleeding persisted. Further investigations revealed a small pseudoaneurysm originating from the left uterine artery. Bilateral uterine artery embolization (UAE) using polyvinyl alcohol particles was successfully performed. The patient's condition improved, and she was discharged on a carefully regulated medication regimen. This case highlights the importance of considering rare causes of PPH in high-risk patients, such as uterine artery pseudoaneurysm. Anticoagulants could be a potential contributor of its spontaneous rupture. Prompt diagnosis and appropriate intervention, such as UAE, can effectively manage PPH and prevent adverse outcomes.
