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

Vaginal cuff dehiscence is a rare but potentially life-threatening post-hysterectomy complication. Here we report two cases of vaginal cuff dehiscence with distinct imaging features and describe the CT findings of vaginal cuff dehiscence. Both patients underwent repair surgery, and the diagnoses were confirmed. Radiologic features of vaginal cuff dehiscence are uncommonly described in the literature. Vaginal cuff mural discontinuity and omental fat tissue or bowel herniation into the vaginal canal are the most common appearances of vaginal cuff dehiscence. Pelvic hematoma, bowel obstruction, and pneumoperitoneum can accompany. These two cases highlight the CT appearances, potential presentations, and management of vaginal cuff dehiscence in the emergency setting.
