A new removable uterine compression suture (RUCS) as an effective treatment for postpartum hemorrhage without long-term uterine synechiae: a retrospective preliminary study.
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. 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
objectivesUterine compression sutures have proven to be a valuable and safe option in the control of Postpartum hemorrhage. To avoid complications related to uterine compression sutures (uterine necrosis, synechia, and pyometra), we assess the efficacy of removable uterine compression suture (RUCS) for primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and evaluate its effectiveness. STUDY
designThis retrospective preliminary study was conducted at a tertiary referral hospital between January 2020 and November 2024, including patients diagnosed with postpartum hemorrhage who required compression sutures. Demographic characteristics of the patients who underwent RUCS and postpartum clinical parameters were determined.
resultsBleeding was successfully controlled in all 11 patients (100%). A mild, localized ecchymosis occurred at the unilateral suture exit site and resolved spontaneously. No intrauterine synechiae were detected in any of the 11 patients at 6-month hysteroscopic evaluation. Fertility outcomes were available for six women, five of whom achieved subsequent pregnancies.
conclusionIn this study, we present a novel removable compression suture that appears to be effective, simple, and rapid in application, with the potential to reduce serious complications; however, further evaluation is warranted.
