Is it necessary to correct a caesarean scar defect before a subsequent pregnancy? A report of three cases.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Rates of caesarean section have increased over recent years and so too have associated complications, one of which is a caesarean scar defect (CSD). The defect may cause gynaecological symptoms, such as menometrorrhagia, infertility, chronic abdominal/pelvic pain or it may be asymptomatic. The presence of CSD may lead to obstetrical sequalae such as preterm delivery, uterine rupture, caesarean scar pregnancy or abnormal placenta implantation. Three cases of CSD are described here. In one case, surgical correction of the CSD was performed before a subsequent pregnancy with an uncomplicated obstetric outcome. In the other two cases, surgical correction of the CSD was not performed and the pregnancies were complicated by caesarean scar dehiscence and caesarean scar pregnancy. We suggest that women with a CSD may benefit from surgical correction of the defect before becoming pregnant to reduce the likelihood of serious complications.
