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
The prevalence of isthmocele or caesarean scar niche is increasing nowadays. This is largely attributed to the increasing rate of caesarean deliveries globally, although the growing awareness among gynaecologists and assisted reproductive technology specialists may contribute to the more frequent diagnosis of isthmocele. Although the presenting complaints, diagnosis, and management of isthmocele are discussed extensively in the literature, this case of large isthmocele with a large degenerated false broad ligament myoma, which caused diagnostic dilemma both preoperatively and postoperatively, needs a special mention. This is one such case of large isthmocele rarely reported in perimenopausal women obscured by concomitant uterine pathology like degenerating large broad ligament fibroid. This also stresses the need for awareness and application of various techniques, such as the Halloween sign, for the proper diagnosis of the emerging but treatable complication of the most common surgery performed worldwide.
