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

The case presentation of a transvaginal cervical cerclage performed at a 7 cm dilation in a patient in the 22nd week of pregnancy, followed by a prolongation of the pregnancy until the gestational age of 38 weeks, was reported in the context of many similar cases managed by the authors of the article during a program of screening and prevention of preterm birth. The particularity of the case was the lack of a preterm birth in the medical history of the patient and the installation of the isthmus-cervix incompetence in the second pregnancy, after an on term pregnancy. What should be evidenced is the importance transvaginal cervical ultrasound evaluation has in the early diagnosis of this pathology during pregnancy, this being the only method of determining the efficacy of the content of the internal cervical os. Transvaginal cervical exploration has to be implemented as a screening method both in the high-risk patients and in the absence of a suggestive medical history.
