Suturing the placental bed in addition to intrauterine balloon tamponade, is it effective in placenta previa patients?

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
backgroundThis study aimed to examine the effectiveness of placental bed sutures in placenta previa (PP) patients and compare the amount of estimated blood loss (EBL) in patients who were only applied intrauterine balloon tamponade (IUBT) with the patients who were applied suturing to the placental bed in addition to IUBT.
methodsPP patients (n:118) who were applied IUBT for postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) were the inclusion criteria. PP patients who were only applied IUBT constituted the suture-negative group (n:65) and the patients who were applied suturing to the placental bed in addition to IUBT constituted the suture-positive group (n:53). Clinicodemographic features, transfused blood and/or blood products, uterotonics used, EBL, and the volume IUBT inflated, and the duration of IUBT, were recorded and compared between the groups.
resultsThe median volume IUBT inflated was 200 (160-460) mL and the median duration of IUBT was 12 (6-24) hours in PP patients. The amount of EBL was shown to be higher in suture-positive group (p = 0.003). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that presence of suturing the placental bed was associated with severe PPH (p = 0.017).
conclusionsIUBT, is a successful method that is easily applicable, and administration of IUBT without suturing the placental bed may be sufficient to manage PPH in low-risk PP patients.
