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
backgroundBladder flap hematoma (BFH) is a rare complication associated with cesarean section (CS). Its pathogenesis is linked to insufficient hemostasis and bleeding at the incision site, leading to the formation of a hematoma between the bladder and the lower uterine segment (LUS). To the best of the authors' knowledge, no specific protocols have been formulated to guide the treatment of BFH. CASE PRESENTATION: A 29-year-old woman underwent an emergency CS due to relative cephalopelvic disproportion. Twenty-two hours after the CS, she developed pale red hematuria accompanied with a significant decrease in hemoglobin. The patient experienced two fainting episodes after standing and engaging in activity, along with vaginal bleeding. A bedside ultrasound revealed a 50 mm fluid-filled sonolucent area between the lower uterine segment (LUS) and bladder. Subsequently, the patient received conservative treatment with internal iliac artery embolization, antibiotics and blood transfusion, to avoid secondary laparotomy. The angiography and computer tomography examinations revealed the existence of uterine artery pseudoaneurysm and a large BFH. Her vital signs remained stable after the intervention and repeat ultrasonography demonstrated a significant reduction in the hematoma size.
conclusionsSelective pelvic artery embolization as a conservative treatment can be a safe and effective option for large BFH, provided the patient remains clinically stable. This interventional therapy presents an innovative, non-surgical approach to a condition that is typically treated surgically and may carry the risk of irreparable complications.
