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
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of different anesthesia procedures and surgical approaches on maternal and neonatal outcomes in cases of abnormal placental invasion (API), and to determine the factors that predict the transition from spinal anesthesia to general anesthesia. Methodology: This retrospective cohort study included 115 patients who underwent API surgery at University of Health Sciences Tepecik Training and Research Hospital, Izmir, Turkey; between 2015 to 2023. Demographic, obstetric, anesthetic, surgical, and neonatal data were analyzed. Comparisons were made based on the anesthesia type (spinal, general, and spinal-to-general conversion) and depth of invasion. Results: Placenta percreta was detected in 67% of the cases. As the severity of invasion increased, the operative time, blood and fluid replacement, and hospital stay were significantly prolonged (p<0.05). The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, blood product consumption, and intraoperative complication rates were significantly higher in patients undergoing general anesthesia (p<0.001). Spinal anesthesia was the first choice (91.3%), and 47.6% of the cases required intraoperative conversion to general anesthesia. ROC analysis revealed that colloid use, ASA score, and fibrinogen requirement were significant predictors. There were no statistically significant differences in neonatal outcomes between the groups. Conclusion: In API cases, initiating neuraxial anesthesia, which allows for transition to general anesthesia when necessary, may improve maternal safety. Parameters such as colloid use and ASA score may guide early identification of high-risk cases. Prospective multicenter studies are required to establish standard management protocols for this high-risk group.
