Pelvic packing as a life-saving intervention in the referral of patients with obstetric hemorrhage: comparing outcomes in referred and non-referred patients.
Observational study in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 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
backgroundObstetric hemorrhage continues to be a major contributor to maternal deaths and health complications globally. Pelvic packing, a method used in trauma surgery to control severe bleeding, has been successfully applied to treat obstetric hemorrhages. This research aimed to evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of pelvic packing for patients with obstetric hemorrhage, especially in the context of patient referrals. MATERIALS AND
methodsA comparative observational study was carried out on 45 patients who received pelvic packing for obstetric hemorrhage at a hospital in southern Turkey from 2010 to 2024. The patients were divided into two groups: those who had the procedure at the study hospital (non-referred group, n = 27) and those who were referred from other facilities (referred group, n = 18). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were examined using descriptive statistics and comparative tests.
resultsThere were no significant differences in complications and mortality between the two groups. The overall survival rate was 82.2%. Sepsis was more common in patients referred from Syria, likely due to inadequate conditions.
conclusionThe pelvic packing technique is a simple, quick, and effective method for managing obstetric hemorrhage, particularly in resource-limited developing countries. Mastery of this technique is essential for all gynecologists, both for initial patient care and in referral situations.
