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
backgroundSevere (FIGO grade 3b & c) placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is potentially a life-threatening condition due to catastrophic haemorrhage at delivery. Consequently, interventional radiology (IR) techniques are often employed to prevent massive blood loss, but this is not always readily available, is costly, and can cause significant morbidity, including distal limb ischaemia due to thrombus formation. We believe that internal iliac ligation under direct vision is a safe option to control bleeding. We sought to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes relating to this technique compared to IR.
methodsThis is a mixed-methods cohort study of women with severe PAS who underwent hysterectomy with either surgical devascularisation, as part of the Soleymani and Collins (SAC) technique, or IR insertion of internal iliac balloon catheters, in a UK tertiary referral centre for PAS between 2011 and 2022. Only women with intraoperative diagnosis of very severe PAS (FIGO stage 3b & c) were included in this study.
resultsOf the 22 women invited to participate in the long-term component of the study, 59% agreed. Women in the surgical devascularisation group experienced no adverse short or late sequelae related to internal iliac arterial ligation. Pelvic devascularisation (11 patients, 41%) demonstrated a reduction in median estimated blood loss, 1600 millilitres vs. 2500 millilitres in the IR balloon catheter group (
conclusionsWe have demonstrated that the SAC technique for surgical devascularisation is a safe method for achieving haemorrhage control during caesarean hysterectomy for severe PAS. It also appears to be at least as effective at haemorrhage control as IR balloon occlusion of the internal iliac vessels.
