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

backgroundVaginal cuff dehiscence is a rare but potentially grave complication after total hysterectomy. Abdominal or pelvic contents are at risk of evisceration through the vaginal opening. It is associated with significant risk for patient morbidity, such as peritonitis, bowel injury, and sepsis. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of vaginal cuff dehiscence in a 45-year-old multiparous Taiwanese woman who had undergone abdominal total hysterectomy and presented with vaginal cuff dehiscence precipitated by sexual intercourse. Immediate laparoscopic repair was done. Few authors have reported the utilization of the laparoscopic approach. It allows thorough inspection, visualization, and irrigation of the abdominal cavity. It is also associated with fewer intraoperative and postoperative complications.

conclusionLaparoscopic repair is a safe treatment option to manage vaginal cuff dehiscence after total hysterectomy.
