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

Aim: Preterm birth is a worldwide health problem. After unsuccessful transvaginal cerclage, the transabdominal isthmo-cervical cerclage can be indicated. A laparoscopic approach has been described. Methods: A search was performed including the combination of: "((cerclage) AND (laparoscopy)) AND (pregnancy)". A systematic review was performed to compare indications, outcomes, techniques, and safety. Results & discussion: 42 articles were found through database search. 30 articles were included for review. By reviewing the literature, the transabdominal cervico-isthmic laparoscopic cerclage is highly effective in selected patients with a history of refractory cervical insufficiency. This technique has a high neonatal survival rate when placed in preconceptional or post conceptional patients. Moreover, laparoscopic cervical cerclage is a safe procedure when laparoscopic expertise is present.
