Ectopic pregnancy implanted under the diaphragm: A rare case report.

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
backgroundAbdominal pregnancy is a rare type of ectopic pregnancy. We describe here a case of ectopic pregnancy implanted under the surface of the diaphragm, presenting the particular features of imaging findings from ultrasound, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). CASE SUMMARY: A 30-year-old woman presented with complaint of intermittent abdominal pain, that had begun 5 d earlier. She had no current or abnormal vaginal bleeding, and her serum human chorionic gonadotropin level (13372.08 IU/L) indicated pregnancy. Vaginal ultrasound showed a mixed echogenic mass in the right ovary. CT (plain) scan showed a curved high density mass beneath the subhepatic space. MRI scan showed a curved mixed signal, with restricted diffusion beneath the subhepatic space. Abdominal ultrasound demonstrated a mixed echogenic mass in the right lobe of the liver near the apex of the diaphragm, with a visible yolk sac and germ cell region with a bud. Subsequent laparoscopy visualized a dark red mass under the right diaphragm, which was resected completely. Histopathological examination of the resected mass confirmed an ectopic pregnancy. The recovery was swift and uneventful, and the patient was discharged to home.
conclusionEctopic pregnancy should be in the differential diagnostic workup (
