Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum in Pregnancy: Masquerading as Acute Appendicitis.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in pregnancy (SHiP) is a rare obstetric emergency that may have an adverse outcome for the mother and baby. This case report describes a unique SHiP case initially diagnosed as acute appendicitis in a patient with severe endometriosis before conception. A woman in her 30s, a primigravida, was admitted with abdominal pain at 32+5 weeks gestational age. Following a surgical review, she was initially diagnosed with acute appendicitis and commenced on intravenous antibiotics. She experienced a dramatic deterioration in her health in the form of clinical shock and fetal distress. She had an emergency laparotomy, a hysterectomy, and a left salpingo-oophorectomy for uncontrollable bleeding. The baby was born in good health, and the mother had an uneventful recovery.
