Outcomes of prophylactic lauromacrogol injection versus non-injection in patients with endogenous cesarean scar pregnancy treated by hysteroscopic surgery: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy of hysteroscopic surgery for endogenous cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) and the value of prophylactic ultrasound-guided local injection of lauromacrogol.
methodsThis retrospective study included 131 patients diagnosed with endogenous CSP who underwent hysteroscopic surgery at the Hangzhou Fuyang Women and Children Hospital between January 2018 and May 2022. Lauromacrogol (10-20 mL) was administered within 24 h preoperatively using an ultrasound-guided vaginal injection to 78 patients (L group) versus not administered to 53 patients (non-L group). Their clinical data and outcomes were analyzed.
resultsMean gestational age, gestational mass size, and uterine scar thickness and median preoperative blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin levels of the non-L versus L groups were 46.26 versus 45.01 days, 2.05 versus 2.39 cm, 0.35 versus 0.32 cm, and 19850.0 versus 26790.0 U/L, respectively (P > 0.05 for each). The non-L and L groups had similar success rates (98.1% vs. 98.7%, P = 1.0). Complications related to lauromacrogol administration, including abdominal pain, massive bleeding, and bradycardia, were experienced by 46.2% (36/78; P < 0.001) of L group patients. The non-L had a significantly shorter mean hospital stay (4.85 ± 1.12 vs 5.44 ± 1.08 days) and lower total cost (6148.75 ± 1028.71 vs 9016.61 ± 1181.19) (P < 0.01).
conclusionsHysteroscopic surgery is effective and safe for patients with endogenous CSP. Prophylactic lauromacrogol injection increases the incidence of complications and costs. Direct hysteroscopic surgery can reduce pain and financial burden in patients with endogenous CSP and save medical resources for other patients.
