Rescue Cerclage by McDonald's Technique at 18 Weeks for Cervical Insufficiency With Intravaginal Amniotic Sac: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recurrent pregnancy loss, premature birth, and associated complications exhibit a multifactorial etiology and persist as substantial challenges during pregnancy, despite the notable advancements in the medical field. Among several factors, cervical insufficiency or incompetence emerges as a prominent causal factor, characterized by painless softening and shortening of the cervix associated with absent contractions. The implementation of emergency cerclage represents a pivotal intervention in mitigating preterm birth among individuals with advanced cervical insufficiency. By extending gestational age, this procedure increases the likelihood of neonatal survival without elevating the risk of chorioamnionitis or preterm rupture of the membranes. In this study, an antenatal woman presented with advanced changes in the cervix along with intravaginal bulging amniotic membranes at 18 weeks and underwent a rescue cervical cerclage, resulting in a successful pregnancy.
