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

Uterine rupture is a rare and life-threatening condition. It usually occurs in patients with uterine scars (most commonly for a previous myomectomy or caesarean section), but it can also affect an unharmed uterus. This complication is more frequent in the third trimester and during delivery. There is not yet a recognised method of prediction of uterine rupture and the ultrasound features still need a consensus. In this article, we have reported a case of uterine dehiscence diagnosed by a pelvic ultrasound and magnetic resonance (MRI) at 24 weeks of gestation. The finding was confirmed intraoperatively at the caesarean section at 29 weeks of gestation. The 40-year-old patient has had a previous pregnancy complicated by uterine rupture at 22 weeks of gestation, following six previous abdominal surgeries for stage IV endometriosis, diffuse and nodular adenomyosis, and pelvic adhesion syndrome. The early detection of uterine dehiscence allowed us to prolong the pregnancy and perform a subsequent fertility-sparing surgery, reducing maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Our case report proves that women with severe endometriosis/adenomyosis are at a high risk of uterine rupture and scar dehiscence. The antenatal ultrasound can describe a uterine dehiscence (even in asymptomatic patients) and prevent complications.
