A rare case of spontaneous heterotopic pregnancy with intrauterine gestational trophoblastic neoplasia and tubal ectopic pregnancy at a remote secondary care hospital.

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
A simultaneous presence of intrauterine and extrauterine gestation is called as heterotopic pregnancy (HP). The incidence of spontaneous HP is 1: 30000, which is very rare. In this case report, we are reporting a rare case of spontaneous HP in a 40-year-old lady with intrauterine gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) and ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy in a remotely located secondary care hospital. The lesson learnt from our case report is that detection of intrauterine gestation does not rule out the possibility of the presence of ectopic pregnancy. Also, HP can occur without any obvious risk factors like in our case. It should be always kept in mind that HP can occur in any woman of reproductive age group. In the end, our patient was fortunate that she presented to us in a stable haemodynamic condition in spite of having ruptured tubal ectopic with spontaneous stoppage of bleeding from the ruptured tube. Hence, to achieve a great chance of favourable obstetric outcome, all treating doctors including family physicians should have a high index of suspicion to have accuracy in early diagnosis and treatment of a various variety of HP as these can occur with or without predisposing risk factors.
