Combined surgical and medical management of a broad ligament ectopic pregnancy: A case report.
Article in Case reports in women's health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Broad ligament ectopic pregnancies rare. Several case reports illustrate treatment with laparoscopy. A 31-year-old woman, gravida 2 para 1, presented at 6 weeks 6 days of gestation with vaginal bleeding. She had a β-hCG level of 7424 IU/L and ultrasound showed a 1.8 cm ectopic pregnancy with fetal cardiac activity in the left adnexa. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a left broad ligament ectopic pregnancy. The products of conception were removed surgically, and she received prophylactic two-dose methotrexate. Her β-hCG returned to non-pregnant levels within one month. This is the first case report to describe laparoscopy with postoperative prophylactic methotrexate for successful treatment of a broad ligament pregnancy. This treatment protocol with methotrexate can be considered in future cases.
