Partial ischemic necrosis of the uterus following artery ligation for postpartum hemorrhage after placental abruption: 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
backgroundUterine necrosis is a rare condition that most commonly occurs during the postpartum period as a severe side effect of conservative interventions for postpartum hemorrhage. The primary treatment for uterine necrosis is a hysterectomy, and conservative management is rarely reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We present the case of a 30-year-old Chinese woman, unipara, who underwent an emergency cesarean section at 35 weeks of gestation owing to a severe placental abruption. Postpartum hemorrhage occurred during the operation, and uterine artery ligation was employed to control the bleeding. The patient was diagnosed with partial uterine necrosis through contrast-enhanced ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging 47 days postpartum. The imaging revealed a significantly thinner myometrium with enhancement following intravenous contrast (maximum thickness). The uterine mucosa was diffusely thickened and showed no perfusion. Given the mild clinical symptoms and stable hemodynamic parameters, conservative treatment was administered.
conclusionAlthough uterine artery ligation is an effective treatment for postpartum hemorrhage, the possible complication of uterine necrosis that may arise after this procedure requires vigilance. In cases of uterine necrosis, contrast-enhanced ultrasound exhibits diagnostic efficacy comparable to that of magnetic resonance imaging. When hemodynamic stability is maintained, conservative management emerges as a compelling therapeutic option.
