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

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the prevalence, related risk factors, manifestations, and management of ectopic pregnancy in the first hospital of the Jilin University over a five-year period.

methodsA retrospective study of ectopic pregnancy was conducted in the First Hospital of the Jilin University between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2014. The results were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and reported as frequencies and percentages.

resultsThe results revealed that out of 16,050 gynecological admissions to the hospital over the five-year period, there were 1273 ectopic pregnancies, with a prevalence rate of 7.93% of all gynecological admissions. The majority of these patients were aged 25-34 y and had a past history of abortion (61%) and uterine cavity surgery (38.6%), and a significant number were nulliparous (549, 43.1%). Bleeding accompanied by abdominal pain were the most common presenting complaints (65.2%). A unilateral salpingectomy was performed for most of these patients.

conclusionEctopic pregnancy had notable morbidity over the five-year period under study, and a history of abortion and uterine cavity surgery were identified as associated risk factors that limited the future reproductive potential of nulliparous women. Therefore, targeted health education campaigns should be conducted in order to enlighten this group of women and the public at large.
