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
introductionEtiologies of postpartum hemorrhage vary widely and most commonly include uterine atony and placental site bleeding. The Chhattisgarh balloon tamponade applies positive pressure to the intrauterine myometrial wall and compresses the placental bed within the endometrial lining to stop postpartum hemorrhage. In contrast, Panicker's vacuum suction hemostatic device is used to perform vacuum retraction of the uterus. This study compared the effectiveness of Panicker's vacuum suction hemostatic device and the Chhattisgarh balloon tamponade in controlling postpartum hemorrhage.
methodsPatients older than 19 years of age with atonic postpartum hemorrhage were included in the study. Patients with other causes of postpartum hemorrhage, such as coagulopathy, traumatic postpartum hemorrhage, retained products of conception, uterine rupture, and perforation, were excluded. Patients were randomly divided into two groups (A and B), with 70 participants per group. In Groups A and B, Panicker's vacuum suction hemostatic device and the Chhattisgarh balloon tamponade were used, respectively. The outcome in both groups was measured based on different parameters.
resultsStatistically significant differences were found between Groups A and B regarding the time taken to control uterine bleeding, time taken to restore uterine tone, amount of blood loss, pain score, and length of hospital stay.
conclusionVacuum retraction of the uterus using Panicker's vacuum suction hemostatic device was found to be more effective in the management of postpartum hemorrhage than the Chhattisgarh balloon tamponade.
