1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Placental abruption is a major obstetric emergency. To date, no cases of placental abruption associated with partial placental prolapse during labor induction with a cervical double-balloon catheter have been reported. We describe the case of a 37-year-old nulliparous woman (G2P0010) with a pregnancy conceived by assisted reproductive technology and complicated by late-onset fetal growth restriction. At 39 weeks of gestation, labor induction was initiated using a cervical double-balloon catheter because of an unfavorable cervical status. Shortly after insertion, the patient developed acute placental abruption with partial prolapse of a posteriorly inserted placenta, requiring emergency cesarean delivery. This case highlights that placental abruption may occur in temporal association with mechanical cervical ripening and underscores the potential for delayed diagnosis when a cervical double-balloon catheter is in place, as early clinical signs such as vaginal bleeding may be partially obscured.
