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

purposeTo comprehensively compare the diagnostic ability and inter-reader agreement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings for predicting massive hemorrhage after cesarean section in patients with placental malposition, aiming to identify the most reliable and objective indicators.

methodsTotally, 148 consecutive patients with placental malposition underwent MRI and cesarean section at our hospital between January 2014 and July 2021. The patients were divided into massive and non-massive hemorrhage groups. MRI findings of placenta accreta, placental position, and placental volume were evaluated by two radiologists, and inter-reader agreement was calculated. Diagnostic ability for predicting massive hemorrhage was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic analysis.

resultsIntraplacental T2 dark bands (100% vs. 58.2%, p = 0.001), placental bulge (50% vs. 3.7%, p < 0.001), loss of retroplacental T2 hypointense line (100% vs. 67.2%, p = 0.01), myometrial thinning (92.9% vs. 57.5%, p = 0.009), total placenta previa (64.3% vs. 23.9%, p = 0.033), and anterior placenta (35.7% vs. 10.5%, p = 0.02) were significantly observed in massive hemorrhage group. Partial placental volume of lower uterine segment (PV
