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

Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy is a very rare form of extra-uterine pregnancy with high maternal morbidity and mortality if intervention is delayed. We report the case of a 27-year-old para 2 gravida 3 patient who presented in haemorrhagic shock after delayed diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. An ultrasound scan noted a right tubal ectopic pregnancy. At laparotomy, bilateral ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy was encountered and bilateral salpingectomy was done as both tubes were not salvageable. She recovered completely postoperatively and histology confirmed bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancies. Bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy may not be easily diagnosed on a scan; hence vigilance at surgery is critical to prevent maternal mortality.
