Prophylactic occlusion balloon in placenta abnormalities: What every interventional radiologist needs to know.
Review in World journal of radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Placenta abnormalities, which are collectively termed as placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), are increasing globally in the female population due to the large number of cesarean sections performed worldwide. PAS represents a rare but life-threatening occurrence that can lead to an increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage due to the abnormal infiltration of the chorionic villi in the uterine wall up to the adjacent structures. Performing a prophylactic occlusion of the iliac arteries for a brief amount of time using balloon-occlusion endovascular catheters in patients with PAS can help control unwanted blood losses during cesarean delivery or postpartum demolition surgery. The aim of this narrative minireview was to provide an overview of the aspects about prophylactic occlusion with endovascular balloons in patients with PAS and to analyze current evidence on this topic. In particular, this minireview included an overview of indications, patient selection, type of materials and devices used, technical advice and suggestions, clinical outcomes, and complications to give every interventional radiologist as well as every gynecologist and midwife all the information that is needed to address this particular condition in a safe and prompt manner.
