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

A 31-year-pld female patient, presented to the emergency room with vaginal bleedingand a three day history of left sided lower abdominal pain. he showed shock status and an'' as ``She came in with a hypovuoluminc shock and an enhanced 3-dimensional multidetector-computed tomography (3D-MDCT) images showed a specific teardropping owl's eye appearance consistent with an active bleeding around fetal sac and from ruptured tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) spreading into peritoneum at the 9th gestational week. According to accurate radiological diagnosis, she has been able to receive a successful urgent transportation via helicopter to the consultee obstetricians and received an urgent salpingectomy with the diagnosis of tubal rupture in EP. Her post-surgical course was uneventful and discharged hospital on 8th day. From this case experience, an urgent diagnosis of a ruptured tubal EP in shocked female using not US but MDCT is accurately diagnosed because MDCT has radiological advantage to visualize active hemorrhage using contrast-medium.
