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

objectiveTo explore the effectiveness and feasibility of double-row transfixion suture of the lower uterine segment in cesarean section (CS) in patients with pernicious placenta previa complicated by placenta accrete spectrum disorder.

methodsThis retrospective study included 91 women who received CS for pernicious placenta previa complicated by placenta accrete spectrum, which was suggested by preoperative ultrasound and MRI assessment, and confirmed by operation or postoperative pathology. Preoperative ultrasonographic scores were > 6 in all patients. Of them, 47 patients received double-row transfixion suture of the lower uterine segment (study group), and the remaining 44 patients received abdominal aortic balloon placement combined with other uterine suture techniques (control group). The clinical therapeutic efficacy was compared between the two groups. All patients were followed up for two years, during which the duration of bloody lochia, uterine status, menstrual cycle and re-pregnancy were observed.

resultsThe study group showed obvious advantages in operative time, length of hospital stay, intraoperative blood loss, and hospitalization cost (P < 0.05). Uterine resection was performed in two cases in the control group vs. none in the study group. During the two-year follow-up period, no significant difference was observed in the duration of lochia in patients with the uterus preserved between the two groups. The uterus was restored to the normal size within 42 days post-operation, and there was no significant difference in menstrual cycle 2 years post-operation. Uterine diverticulum occurred in 3 cases in the control group and 4 in the study group. Except for one patient who underwent artificial abortion because of contraceptive failure, all other patients have had no intention of getting pregnant again.

conclusionDouble-row transfixion suture of the lower uterine segment in CS for pernicious placenta previa complicated by placenta accrete spectrum deserves wider clinical application, especially in basic-level hospitals, due to reliable hemostasis, shorter operative time, quicker postoperative recovery, fewer complications, lower hospitalization cost, and avoidance of uterine resection.
