Transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclage for cervical insufficiency: A single-center retrospective study.

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
backgroundCervical insufficiency (CI) is thought to be responsible for 8% of miscarriages and preterm births. Cervical cerclage is the main treatment for CI. There are different approaches to cervical cerclage, and it is particularly important to find a method of cervical cerclage that is simple to perform and results in better pregnancy outcomes.
objectiveThis study investigates the clinical efficacy of transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclage in the treatment of CI and its impact on maternal and fetal outcomes.
methodsWe performed a descriptive retrospective single-center study, including all patients who had a transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclage between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2023. The main outcomes measured were pregnancy outcomes.
resultsTwenty transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclages were performed over the period studied: 35% had a history of cervical conization, 65% had history of one or more mid-trimester miscarriages, and 15% had a history of a failed emergency or prophylactic cerclage. The median gestational age (GA) at cerclage placement was 14.19 ± 2.88 weeks of gestation (WG). There was one case of delivery between 28 and 32 weeks, and there were five cases of delivery between 32 and 37 weeks and 11 cases of delivery over 37 weeks, of which three cases were in pregnancy, at gestational weeks of 16, 18, and 21 weeks, respectively. The mean gestational age of cerclage removal, was 36.42 ± 2.76 (WG).
conclusionThe transvaginal hemiperitoneal cervical cerclage is simple to operate, not limited by gestational age, and less invasive and has a low cost. It is effective in patients with a short cervix and has good pregnancy outcomes.
