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

Cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP), or pregnancies with implantation in a prior cesarean section scar, are rare but may be becoming more common with an increase in cesarean section deliveries. History of prior CSP may also increase the risk for recurrent CSP. Several treatment options and combinations of treatment options for CSP have been described in the literature. Although the optimal treatment is unclear, the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine published recommendation guidelines, which include recommendations for the treatment/termination of CSP pregnancies. Treatment of CSP is recommended with operative resection, ultrasound-guided suction dilation and curettage (D&C), or intragestational methotrexate with or without treatment modalities. This is a case report of a patient with recurrent CSP. Her first CSP was incorrectly diagnosed as an incomplete abortion after unsuccessful treatment with misoprostol alone and ultimately was successfully treated with systemic methotrexate. Her second CSP is the basis of this case report and was successfully treated with oral mifepristone and systemic methotrexate (50 milligrams/meter
