Quadruplet heterotopic pregnancy; ectopic managed successfully with laparotomy with subsequent viable intrauterine pregnancy: A 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
Heterotopic pregnancy is characterized by a concurrent intrauterine and ectopic pregnancy. It can occur after natural conception, however, it is more common with assisted reproductive techniques , when over one embryo is transferred. Quadruplet heterotopic pregnancy is an exceedingly rare subset. Our case describes a woman who presented to the emergency room with amenorrhea for 9 weeks and lower abdominal pain for 3 days. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed three alive intrauterine fetuses and one left tubal ectopic pregnancy (Quadruplet heterotopic pregnancy). Patient benefited from emergent laparotomy with favorable outcome both in the short term and in the long term. In a patient with a history of assisted reproductive techniques, a high index of suspicion is warranted towards extra-uterine pregnancy. Sonologists should precisely look for adnexal mass. The presence of peritoneal free-fluid requires further investigation. The prognosis of intrauterine fetuses is good, provided the ectopic pregnancy is managed timely and in an effective manner.
