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

This study aimed evaluate the feasibility of modified laparoscopic transabdominal cervicoisthmic cerclage (LTCC) and its impact on recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and is a retrospective observational cohort study of patients who underwent modified LTCC from 2003 to 2018 (n = 299). The surgery was performed at a mean gestational age of 12.5 weeks (range 10.5-17.5 weeks). Of the 299 patients, 190 were reported as having undergone abortion (one abortion: 91 (47.9%), two: 59 (31.1%), three or more: 40 (21.1%)) before the present pregnancy and prior to the surgery. The mean operation time was 47.4 min (range 15-100 min). We followed up with 205 of 299 patients and recorded their obstetric outcomes. There were 176 successful deliveries via cesarean section, and the fetal survival rate was 85.9% (176/205). The results of this study suggest that modified LTCC is a safe and feasible surgical option during pregnancy for patients with a history of RPL due to cervical factors.
