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

backgroundDiagnostic and therapeutic challenges may arise in the management of gynecologic emergencies, such as ectopic pregnancy, for women with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. CASE: A 33-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 2) with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection 8 months prior experienced sudden onset of fever and cough. Four days later, she consulted her gynecologist because of a positive pregnancy test and was further referred because of suspected ectopic pregnancy at 11 weeks of gestation, as calculated from her last irregular menstrual period. At triage, the patient complained of dyspnea, chest pain, and cough. Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay detected SARS-CoV-2, which was subsequently identified to be an L452R variant. Chest computerized tomography (CT) showed moderate COVID-19 pneumonia. Transvaginal ultrasonography and pelvic CT showed a right tubal mass without an intrauterine gestational sac, suggesting right tubal pregnancy. Systemic methotrexate (MTX) therapy was chosen for management of the tubal pregnancy because of the patient's unruptured hemodynamically stable status, along with immediate administration of remdesivir and casirivimab-imdevimab to prevent worsening of the pneumonia. After failed MTX therapy, gasless laparoendoscopic single-site right salpingectomy was performed due to concern for tubal rupture. Four days after surgery, the patient was discharged from the hospital without subsequent complications.

conclusionsLaparoscopic surgery, preceded by anti-viral therapy for COVID-19, is a feasible option for the management of hemodynamically stable tubal pregnancy in a woman with moderate COVID-19 pneumonia.
