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

Uterine rupture is an uncommon obstetric emergency that is potentially fatal to the mother and fetus. Spontaneous rupture of the unscarred gravid uterus in postmenopausal women who achieve pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF) has been infrequently described in the literature. We present the case of a 72-year-old postmenopausal woman, gravida 1 para 0, who conceived by donor oocyte IVF in Europe and subsequently suffered uterine rupture at 22 weeks gestation with large hemoperitoneum. The patient underwent emergent laparotomy, with successful repair of the uterine wall defects. Postmenopausal women face an increased risk of spontaneous uterine rupture and life-threatening bleeding, which is likely due to uterine atrophy and limited uterine capacity. Further research is needed to establish age-appropriate guidelines for selecting treatment candidates.
