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
introductionUterine compression sutures are widely used for postpartum hemorrhage, but conventional techniques might be less effective for bleeding from the lower uterine segment in placenta previa. The Nausicaa suture has shown efficacy; however, concerns regarding uterine ischemia remain. We describe a modified Nausicaa compression suture (MNCS) designed to minimize ischemic risk. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis single-center, retrospective observational study included women with singleton pregnancies complicated by placenta previa or low-lying placenta who underwent cesarean delivery between 2018 and 2024. MNCS is a localized uterine compression suture in which U-shaped sutures are placed directly above and below the bleeding point of the lower uterine segment from the serosal side of the anterior or posterior uterine wall, without compressing both walls or penetrating the endometrial cavity. MNCS was applied in cases of persistent bleeding at the placental attachment site.
resultsMNCS technique was applied in 45 women during cesarean section; 11 required additional hemostatic procedures. Among the 34 women managed with MNCS alone, the median blood loss was 728 g (range, 250-2600 g), and the median skin-to-skin operative time was 39 min (range, 26-104 min). No short-term postoperative complications were observed, and eight women subsequently achieved pregnancy.
conclusionDespite the limitations of a retrospective, single-center design without a control group and possible selection bias, MNCS appears to be a simple and safe initial hemostatic option for bleeding from the lower uterine segment in placenta previa.
