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
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of internal iliac artery (IIA) ligation in the management of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Clinical Trials Registry were searched up to December 2024 for studies on IIA ligation in PAS. This PROSPERO-registered review followed PRISMA guidelines and included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs comparing IIA ligation with no intervention, IIA balloon, uterine artery ligation, or temporary common iliac artery occlusion. Outcomes included intraoperative blood loss, transfusion needs, procedure duration, complications, intensive care unit admission, and hospital stay, with risk of bias assessed using Cochrane criteria and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and evidence quality rated via GRADE. Effect estimates were reported as mean differences or odds ratios (95% confidence interval ( Results: A total of 13 studies, including five RCTs and eight non-RCTs, involving 939 participants, met the inclusion criteria and were included in the study. Intraoperative blood loss was evaluated in 10 studies involving 631 participants (299 undergoing IIA ligation and 332 controls). The mean difference was -177.10 mL (95% Conclusion: Current evidence suggests that IIA ligation in PAS may not significantly reduce intraoperative blood loss, transfusion requirements, procedure duration, bladder injury, or hospital stay; however, the available studies are heterogeneous and of variable quality, and further high-quality research is needed to confirm these findings.
