A Comprehensive Study on Peripartum Hysterectomy in Tehran, Iran: Causes and Clinical Outcomes.
Article in Archives of Iranian medicine, 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
backgroundPeripartum hysterectomy (PH) poses a notable public health challenge due to its correlation with severe maternal morbidity and mortality. Identifying the causes and risk factors associated with PH is crucial for enhancing preventive strategies and maternal health outcomes. This study investigates the indications, and outcomes of PH across healthcare settings.
methodsThis is a retrospective analysis of all PH cases between March 2021 and March 2022 in Tehran, Iran. The study included cases where gestational age was greater than 24 weeks, with PH performed during delivery or within the first 24 hours postpartum. Data, including demographic and clinical variables, were collected from the Iranian Maternal and Neonatal Network (IMaN) system.
resultsIn total, 136 PH cases were identified. The average age of the women was 35.1 (±5.2) years. Cesarean section (C/S) was the predominant delivery method, comprising 93.4% of cases, with 44.9% having a medical indication, 7.4% without indications, and 41.2% performed as emergency C/S. Notably, a previous C/S was reported in 65.4% of cases. The main indications for PH were placenta abnormalities (75.6%), uterine atony (20.7%), uterine rupture (3%), and ovarian mass (0.7%). Placenta previa (42.6%) and placenta accreta (32.4%) were the most frequent placental abnormalities.
conclusionThe findings highlight key factors influencing PH that may inform health policies to mitigate risks. A national study could offer a comprehensive view, accounting for regional, socioeconomic, and cultural differences, emergency healthcare access, and resource availability, guiding targeted public health interventions.
