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

Background: Placenta previa (PP) is an obstetric condition where the placenta is abnormally positioned in the lower uterine segment, potentially covering the cervical os. Placenta accreta (PA), often associated with PP, involves abnormal placental adherence to the myometrium, complicating delivery and increasing the likelihood of severe hemorrhage. Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed medical records of 167 patients diagnosed with PP from January 2018 to December 2022. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence (n=113) or absence (n=54) of PA. Clinical parameters, including age, gestational weeks, BMI, obstetric history, and uterine artery blood flow parameters [peak systolic velocity (PSV), resistance index (RI), pulsatility index (PI)], were compared between the two groups. Statistical analysis involved independent samples Results: Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of gravidity, parity, abortions, cesarean sections, and uterine artery blood flow parameters. Patients with PA had higher gravidity, parity, abortion, and cesarean section rates, along with higher PSV and lower RI and PI values. Logistic regression identified PSV, RI, and PI as significant predictors of PA severity. ROC curve analysis confirmed the high predictive accuracy of these parameters, with AUC values indicating robust diagnostic performance. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of detailed prenatal evaluation, particularly uterine artery blood flow parameters, in predicting and managing PA in PP patients.
