Antepartum hemorrhage due to placenta previa with autologous transfusion: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 and importanceBleeding during pregnancy or during childbirth can cause significant morbidity and mortality for the mother and baby, this can be overcome by performing a caesarean section (C-section) and blood transfusions. Although blood transfusions can save lives, there is a risk such as transfusion reactions, transmission of infection, and anaphylaxis. Giving autologous blood transfusion can reduce the risk of these events. This case report aims to investigate the advantages of autologous blood transfusion in managing the patient's hemodynamic status compared to homologous blood transfusion. CASE PRESENTATION: A 21-year-old female (G2P1A0) with antepartum hemorrhage (APH) due to placenta previa underwent emergency C-section with intrauterine device installation and hysterectomy. The patient received an autologous transfusion to improving the hematocrits and hemoglobin within 30 min. Autologous transfusion provided routine postoperative hemodynamics, electrolytes, and blood stability. However, it could not completely replace homologous transfusion. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Autologous transfusion reduces transfusion response, infection risk, and immunosuppression. Consequently, it reduces the need for allogenic blood supplies and enables safer transfusion for people with rare blood types and various auto-antibodies.
conclusionAutologous transfusions may provide better outcomes in C-section surgery for APH patients due to placenta previa. Thus, we recommend the use of autologous over homologous transfusion. Further research is required to compare them to a large population.
