Telemedicine-assisted conservative management of placenta accreta spectrum: a case series from a tertiary center in Lithuania.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundPlacenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a severe obstetric disorder that requires extensive resources and multidisciplinary expertise. In many European centers, low case numbers and the absence of structured training programs limit opportunities to adopt conservative surgical techniques. At present, there is no consensus on the optimal management of PAS. CASE PRESENTATION: We describe the first experience with uterine-sparing surgery for PAS in a Lithuanian tertiary center, developed through collaboration with Clinica de Espectro de Acretismo Placentario, Fundación Valle del Lili (Cali, Colombia). Between April and September 2024, four women with antenatally suspected PAS (two increta, two accreta) were treated with one-step conservative surgery (OSCS). Teleconsultation supported each stage of care, including ultrasound review, joint surgical planning, intraoperative assistance, and postoperative debriefing. All four patients recovered without major complications, and neonatal outcomes were favourable. For comparison, outcomes from nine women managed with cesarean hysterectomy between 2022 and 2023 were reviewed.
conclusionThis case series demonstrates that uterine-sparing surgery can be safely introduced in a low-volume setting with structured teleconsultation support. International collaboration provides a practical framework for surgical training and may facilitate broader adoption of conservative PAS management.
