Sonographic diagnosis of an interstitial pregnancy in an asymptomatic patient at 7 weeks' gestation.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
An interstitial pregnancy is an ectopic pregnancy located within the proximal intramural segment of the Fallopian tube traversing the myometrium. This type of ectopic pregnancy is relatively rare, occurring in approximately 1%-3% of all ectopic pregnancies. Given the myometrial mantle surrounding the gestational sac, which is considerably thicker than in other tubal pregnancies, patients with interstitial pregnancies classically manifest symptoms later in gestation. Thus, there is an increased risk of life-threatening intraperitoneal hemorrhage upon rupture of the myometrium encompassing the pregnancy. We present an unusual case of early sonographic diagnosis of an interstitial pregnancy in an asymptomatic patient at 7 and 3/7 weeks' gestation, discuss predisposing factors, hallmarks of sonographic diagnosis, and review the literature regarding available clinical management modalities. With the increasing application of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) by emergency room physicians and other providers in outpatient facilities, our case emphasizes both the importance of correct sonographic identification of interstitial pregnancy and the clinical importance of uniform early first-trimester sonography, preferably no later than 7-8 weeks' gestation.
