Cesarean section with operation on placental support as an adapted EXIT procedure for fetal thyroid goiter: A case report and literature review.
Review in International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics, 2025. 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
The ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) procedure is a specialized delivery strategy that extends utero-placental-fetal circulation to convert a potential neonatal emergency condition into a condition that is compatible with postnatal life. Cesarean section with operation on placental support is an EXIT technique that requires a relatively short duration of placental support and few skilled medical personnel and specialized instruments; it can successfully treat selected fetal indications. In the present study, we report a case of fetal thyroid goiter as an example of a fetal anomaly requiring the procedure. We then review all cases published in the medical literature that were similar to our procedure (15 cases including our new case). Twelve (80%) cases of fetal anomalies and three prophylactic cases of extremely low birth weight were delivered using a procedure adapted from the standard EXIT procedure. All 12 cases of fetal anomalies were treated by airway intervention. In 12 of the 15 cases (80%), direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation were attempted; intubation was successful in seven of these 12 cases (58%). There was only one case of postpartum hemorrhage caused by uterine incisional bleeding, with a consequence of delayed hysterotomy closure. In summary, cesarean section with operation on placental support is a promising alternative delivery technique for neonates with airway obstructive lesions, especially in resource-limited settings.
