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

Spontaneous uterine rupture in unscarred uteri complicated by pulmonary emboli is a rare event with major maternal morbidity and mortality. This is a case of a 32-year-old woman, G1P0, at term, with no pertinent past medical/surgical history, who underwent an emergency cesarean delivery for failed induction of labor complicated by uterine rupture. Post-operatively, the patient was tachycardic and hypoxic. CT arteriogram revealed massive bilateral pulmonary emboli, and she was transferred for specialist care. An emergency pulmonary embolectomy and implantation of an extracorporeal right ventricular assist device were performed. Once the patient was clinically stable, an evaluation for thrombophilias and collagen disorders was done, and was positive for a variant of unknown significance in the ELN gene (c.205G > C). This case report highlights a potential connection between uterine ruptures, hemorrhage, and multiple, large pulmonary emboli. The authors propose a multidisciplinary discussion and evaluation to identify risk factors and biologic causes for these rare but life-threatening complications.
