Effectiveness of aortic balloon occlusion in reducing blood loss during cesarean section in placenta accreta spectrum disorders: a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction: Obstetric hemorrhage is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality and morbidity worldwide. One of the major risk factors of obstetric hemorrhage include placenta previa and placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders. The frequency of PAS disorders is increasing worldwide and is accompanied by massive intraoperative bleeding with hemorrhagic shock and increasing rates of cesarean hysterectomy. To decrease the risks of bleeding, various approaches to endovascular balloon occlusion have been tested during the past decade. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in reducing blood loss and preserving the reproductive organs during cesarean section. Study design: This will be a prospective randomized controlled trial involving 144 patients in a tertiary care obstetric center in Kazakhstan. The study population will consist of pregnant women who will be admitted for cesarean section due to placenta previa complicated by PAS disorders. The study subjects will be randomly divided into intervention and control groups. Results: The results will be analyzed through the measurement of primary (blood loss during cesarean section) and secondary outcomes [occurrence of hysterectomy during cesarean section, blood transfusion volume, duration of surgery, balloon application time, stay in intensive care unit (ICU), neonatal outcomes, complications, and total days of postsurgical hospital stay]. Conclusion: The use of REBOA is expected to minimize intraoperative blood loss during cesarean section, decrease the need for transfusion of blood components, reduce the time of surgical intervention, decrease the rate of maternal complications, and reduce the rate of cesarean hysterectomy.
