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
backgroundTermination of early pregnancy has traditionally been done surgically, but agents are now available which can terminate pregnancy if taken orally, vaginally or parenterally. We have used a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol for termination of early pregnancy. MATERIAL AND
methodFifty patients having amenorrhoea of upto 56 days with confirmed intrauterine pregnancy, were selected for medical termination of pregnancy. The patients were given tablet mifepristone (200mg) on day 1 and tablet misoprostol (400mcg) on day 3. On day 14, an ultrasound was done to confirm complete abortion.
resultMajority 35 (70%) patients had amenorrhoea between 40 - 50 days. The duration of bleeding was less than 5 days in 12%, between 5 -10 days in 56%, 10 -13 days in 16% and greater than 14 days in 16%. In all patients with bleeding of more than 14 days ultrasonography confirmed intrauterine products & a suction evacuation was done. In this series there were no failures.
conclusionThe combination of mifepristone and misoprostol is an effective method for termination of early pregnancy up to 56 days of amenorrhoea.
