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

Pregnancy in rudimentary horn is an uncommon presentation of an ectopic pregnancy. It needs a very high degree of suspicion for diagnosis and the diagnosis becomes difficult in cases with previous vaginal deliveries. A 25-year-old female patient with two spontaneous vaginal deliveries and a history of spontaneous abortion at five months visited the obstetric emergency department with a history of five months of amenorrhea with pain abdomen and breathlessness for one day. On abdominal examination abdomen was distended, and rigid, and tenderness was present. Paracentesis was done where blood was present. On bimanual examination, cervical motion tenderness was present, and left-sided fornices fullness was present. The patient was admitted, and her sonography was done for suspicion of a ruptured uterus or ectopic pregnancy. The sonography report showed a bulky uterus with decidual reactions and a well-defined pregnancy of 21 weeks and 6 days in the right adnexal region with hemoperitoneum suggesting suspicion of ruptured ectopic pregnancy. After initial treatment and arrangement of two units of packed red blood cells after proper grouping and cross-matching for the patient, laparotomy was done. At the time of surgery, there was a right-sided rupture of non-communicating rudimentary horn pregnancy with a unicornuate uterus. A dead fetus of 600 grams lies in the peritoneal cavity with two liters of hemoperitoneum. Timely diagnosis and laparotomy saved the life of the patient.
