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

This report describes the case of a 32-year-old woman with ectopic pregnancy in the spleen, which was complicated by active bleeding. The patient complained of intermittent pain in her left side and lower abdomen that lasted several days. The serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) was increased, but no intrauterine gestational sac was found via transvaginal sonography. A computed tomography (CT) examination revealed the presence of a heterogeneous structure in the left peritoneal cavity, inferior to the spleen; signs of active extravasation; and a large amount of hemorrhagic fluid in the pelvis. An angiography examination also showed slow active extravasation from a small artery that branches off at the lower pole of the spleen. Coil embolization was performed. Splenic ectopic pregnancy can be managed by minimally invasive methods in carefully selected patients.
