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

An intramural ectopic pregnancy is one of the rarest types of ectopic pregnancy, and due to the scarcity of reported cases there are no clear guidelines regarding diagnosis and management of the condition. We report a case of a non-viable intramural ectopic pregnancy managed with intravenous methotrexate, in a patient with no previous pregnancies but a history of uterine cornual cyst excision. The patient subsequently developed a uterine arteriovenous malformation, which was embolised. Following this, she had two pregnancies, one culminating in an elective caesarean section at term, and the other a medical termination of pregnancy at 19 weeks of gestation. As a result of post-traumatic stress disorder attributed to this complicated history, the patient requested a hysterectomy. This case demonstrates the complexity of the management of intramural ectopic pregnancy and highlights the impacts the condition can have on a patient's physical and mental health.
