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

Uterine didelphys is a rare congenital anomaly of the female reproductive organs, designated by the presence of the uterus as a pair of organs. This occurs as a result of the failure of the embryonic fusion of Müllerian ducts. Women with this abnormality have a paired uterus with two cervices and usually a double vagina. The chance of having a pregnancy in one of the pairs along with prolapse of the other is very low in a didelphic uterus. To the best of the author's knowledge, only one case of such an event has been reported so far. In this case report, we are reporting on a 28-year-old gravida four para three (all are vaginal deliveries, 2 are alive, healthy, and term deliveries without any compilation; 1 is an early neonatal death delivered at 8 months) woman who presented to our hospital with a complaint of a protruding mass per vagina for 14 days in the presence of pregnancy. After she was evaluated and investigated, she was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse and late-preterm pregnancy. The prolapse reduced gradually as the gestational age advanced. Cesarean section was done at the gestational age of 38 weeks plus 2 days for the indication of infected pelvic organ prolapse in labor, with the outcome of a 3000 gram male alive neonate. Intraoperatively, there was uterine didelphys, one uterus holding the pregnancy while the other was prolapsing.
