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

Background: Being considered a life-threatening condition, cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) leads to loss of fertility, severe bleeding, and even maternal mortality. We intended to assess the effect of double-balloon cervical ripening catheter insertion on CSP termination before nine weeks of gestation. Method: All participants were diagnosed CSP by abdominal and transvaginal ultrasound Results: Thirty-five patients were eligible for double-balloon ripening and 32 for MTX therapy; the treatment in cases failed in five of the patients. Success rate difference between two methods was insignificant (Pearson Chi-square: 0.383, Conclusion: Double-balloon cervical ripening insertion yields acceptable results for terminating CSP. This strategy does not cause bleeding and even prevents it with its tamponade properties. Additionally, this treatment is minimally invasive simple with low morbidity.
