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

Recurrent hydatidiform moles are defined by the occurrence of two or more molar pregnancies in the same patient. These can be sporadic or familial where familial recurrent hydatidiform mole is rare and inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. Here, we present a case of four consecutive complete molar pregnancies with similar history in the sisters, who was diagnosed with fourth complete molar pregnancy. She underwent suction and evacuation followed by weekly serum β-hCG. On genetic analysis, she was found to be homozygous for KHDC3L gene mutation. She was advised for evaluation of her sisters and to consider In vitro fertilization (IVF) with donor ovum or adoption. Prompt suspicion and diagnosis along with counselling of the couple regarding the fertility options available to them are the main aspects of this disease to protect them from repeated physical as well as psychological trauma.
