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
backgroundSevere postpartum hemorrhage during cesarean section is a critical obstetric emergency; delayed hemostasis may lead to hemorrhagic shock, hysterectomy, and even maternal mortality. Individualized uterine-preserving hemostatic strategies represent the central focus and greatest challenge in current clinical management. CASE PRESENTATION: This article reports a case of a patient at 40 + 2 weeks of gestation with concurrent gestational diabetes mellitus and prenatal fever. During cesarean section, the patient developed severe postpartum hemorrhage (with blood loss reaching 2,500 mL) due to complete dense adhesion between placenta and membranes, partial placental implantation on the posterior uterine wall, extensive intrauterine adhesions with pseudocyst formation, and uterine atony. Despite multiple hemostatic measures-including manual placental detachment, forceps removal of implanted tissue, suture closure with braided sutures, administration of uterotonic agents, ligation of bilateral ascending uterine arteries, local figure-of-eight sutures, and intrauterine gauze packing-all proved ineffective. Emergency quadruple modified uterine belt suturing was subsequently performed, successfully preserving the uterus. Postoperatively, multidisciplinary comprehensive management was implemented, encompassing anti-infection therapy, antithrombotic treatment, prevention of uterine necrosis, and correction of anemia and hypoalbuminemia, effectively preventing complications such as infection, uterine necrosis, and venous thrombosis. Follow-up imaging at 3 months showed no abnormalities, with favorable outcomes for both mother and fetus. This study delineates key procedural principles for this technique, providing a reproducible emergency management protocol for clinical practice.
conclusionsThe quadruple modified uterine dorsal suture technique represents a variant of traditional compression suturing, enabling uniform compression of the entire uterine segment and rapid hemostasis. Combined with multimodal interventions, it effectively addresses refractory postpartum hemorrhage of complex etiology. Strict control of suture tension and postoperative dynamic monitoring can balance the benefits of uterine preservation with surgical risks.
