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
purposeThis study evaluated the short- and long-term results of ACAR-style bladder suturing performed during uterus-sparing surgery or hysterectomy in patients with placenta percreta and bladder invasion.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included pregnant women who underwent a cesarean section at the University Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic between January 2018 and March 2023, diagnosed with placenta percreta with bladder invasion, for which bladder dissection was not possible. In this study, patients with placenta percreta who underwent uterine-sparing surgery or subtotal hysterectomy received an ACAR-style bladder suture. We evaluated the intraoperative and postoperative morbidity and mortality in all cases. We questioned and recorded urinary symptoms such as stress or urge incontinence, nocturia, and urinary frequency during follow up.
resultsA total of thirty-eight patients were included in the study. The mean age of the pregnant women in the study was 37.4 ± 4.12 years. The average surgery time was 149.47 ± 65.57 min, the average hospital stay was 9.53 ± 8.66 days, the intraoperative transfusion rate was 65.8% (n = 25), and the postoperative transfusion rate was 47.4% (n = 18). The subtotal hysterectomy rate was 13.1% (n = 5). Evaluation of the post-operative urinary functions in these cases revealed an increase in complaints of urinary incontinence, nocturia, and urgency compared to the preoperative period. While the incontinence rate was 7.9% (n = 3) before, this rate increased to 31.6% (n = 12) after the bladder suture and this increase was statistically significant (p = 0.013). The rate of nocturia was 23.7% (n = 9) before the bladder suture and 50.0% (n = 19) after the bladder suture and this increase was statistically significant (p = 0.008).
conclusionIn cases with bladder invasion and placenta percreata, cystostomy can be performed and bladder suture by ACAR method can be used as an alternative to bladder dissection and cystectomy.
