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

Objective: This retrospective study aims to analyze the influence of different treatment modalities on viable intrauterine pregnancy and to summarize the clinical features of heterotopic pregnancy (HP) patients. Material and methods: All patients diagnosed with HP between January 2012 and December 2022 in Tianjin Central Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were reviewed retrospectively. Results: This study diagnosed 65 patients using transvaginal ultrasound (TVS), including two cases of natural pregnancy, seven cases of ovulation induction pregnancy, and 56 cases after Conclusion: Expectant treatment has a high failure rate in HP, and laparoscopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment for removing ectopic pregnancy without increasing the risk of abortion or newborn birth defects.
