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

A 32-year-old Caucasian female, who had an abdominoplasty with sublay mesh placement for rectus abdominis diastasis becamepregnant one year later. The gestation was uneventful and the baby was born healthy after 40 weeks of pregnancy. During and after the pregnancy the patient's abdomen had been evaluated intensively and there was no recurrence of rectus abdominis diastasis. In this particular case the tissues of the abdominal wall elongated as the foetus grew larger, except for the site where the rectus diastasis has been corrected. The experience with this particular case does not assure that all patients will have the same uneventful outcomes as described. Nonetheless, it shows that pregnancy after abdominoplasty with mesh placing for rectus abdominis diastasis can be safe for both mother and child. However, each patient must be informed about the risks of pregnancy in this particular situation and professional follow-up is mandatory when pregnancy does occur. This is, as far as we know, the first case report of an uneventful pregnancy after rectus abdominis diastasis repair with the placement of a sublay mesh and abdominoplasty.
