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

During pregnancy, pelvic organ prolapse is uncommon and is associated with adverse outcomes such as vaginal infection, cervical ulceration, and preterm delivery. Treatment includes conservative and surgical management during pregnancy. A 32-year-old woman presented with a history of vaginal delivery eight months earlier reported the sensation of a vaginal mass lasting seven months. On physical examination, we noted pelvic organ prolapse and 19-week pregnancy. We treated her conservatively with a Gellhorn pessary and antenatal corticosteroid for fetal lung maturation at 32 weeks due to a high risk of preterm delivery. The pregnancy proceeded with no obstetric complications and vaginal delivery at term of a healthy neonate. Conservative management for patients with pelvic organ prolapse during pregnancy using a pessary is the best option to improve maternal symptomatology and minimize gestational risk; there is no contraindication for vaginal delivery, and cesarean section is reserved for obstetric indications.
