Ultrasound-guided caesarean section as a safer intraoperative strategy for vasa previa type III: A case report.

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
Vasa previa refers to the presence of chorionic vessels (arterial or venous) unprotected by Wharton's jelly, traversing the membranes over or near the internal cervical orifice. If diagnosed prenatally, the condition has a survival rate of up to 97 %. Ultrasound has proven to be a useful diagnostic tool, although its use for general population screening remains a topic of debate. In addition to its diagnostic applications, ultrasound may serve as a valuable intraoperative aid during complex caesarean sections, particularly in high-risk cases such as pregnancies complicated by vasa previa, by contributing to safer and more precise surgical management. The present report concerns a case of type III vasa previa in a patient with three previous caesarean sections, where mapping of the fetal vessels was challenging due to the cephalic presentation during labor. During the caesarean section, ultrasound evaluation of the anterior uterine wall allowed the surgeon to select the best approach for the hysterotomy. Standardizing the intraoperative transuterine ultrasound approach could provide valuable guidance in selecting the most appropriate uterine incision, thereby enhancing surgical safety and promoting both maternal and fetal well-being.
