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

Cornual ectopic pregnancies are rare with a mortality rate that is significantly higher than that of other ectopic pregnancy types. Due to the cornual region's location on the fallopian tube, rupture of a cornual gestation may lead to massive maternal hemorrhage resulting in hypovolemia and shock. Here, we report a 39-year-old female who presented to Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) Florida Healthcare's emergency department (ED) in a state of hypovolemic shock. She was six weeks pregnant based on an unknown and unsure last menstrual cycle. The diagnosis of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy was suspected based on a positive urine pregnancy test and a pelvic ultrasound that revealed an empty uterus and a copious amount of free fluid within the abdomen. Significant hematoperitoneum and hemodynamic instability required emergent exploratory laparotomy with findings of a ruptured left cornual ectopic pregnancy. A left cornual resection and repair was done with an uneventful postoperative period. With cornual ectopic pregnancies being a rare entity, our case emphasizes the importance of early detection and management to help prevent fatal complications.
