Risk factors for blood transfusion during cesarean section in women with major placenta previa.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. 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
To identify risk factors for blood transfusion during cesarean section in women with major placenta previa. We conducted a retrospective single-center cohort study of 110 women with major placenta previa who underwent cesarean section at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Karlsruhe Municipal Hospital, between 2014 and 2021. We grouped patients by whether they received a perioperative blood transfusion. Maternal characteristics and clinical factors were compared to identify risk factors. Twenty women (18.2%) required a blood transfusion. No significant differences were observed between groups for maternal age, gestational age at delivery, elective versus urgent cesarean section, antepartum bleeding, use of assisted reproductive technology, or history of curettage. Prior cesarean section was associated with higher odds of perioperative transfusion (OR 4.63, 95% CI 1.65-12.95; Holm-adjusted p = 0.049). Major placenta previa itself is a recognized risk factor for obstetric hemorrhage and transfusion. Our study shows that a history of previous cesarean section is associated with an additional increase in transfusion risk. These findings emphasize the importance of careful preoperative planning and counseling in this high-risk population.
