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

Uterine compression suture is an alternative choice for managing postpartum hemorrhage and preserving the uterus. However, the required sutures and needles may not be available in developing countries. The 70 mm round-bodied needle was not available in our country. Therefore, we used a 60 mm straight needle mounted to a No. 2/0 Nylon suture and a 40 mm round-bodied needle mounted to a No. 2 Vicryl suture. The free ends were tied effectively with three knots to ensure stability, and the straight needle was used to penetrate the uterus. By using this modification, we took advantage of the length of the straight needle to pass through the uterine muscle at every entry/exit point, which was something that could not be achieved by the small, round-bodied needle (40 mm) available in our hospital. Our modification showed a good prognosis and subsequent successful pregnancy.
