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

Torsion and rupture are life-threatening emergencies in rudimentary horn pregnancy, an extremely rare type of ectopic pregnancy. This case report aims to share the diagnosis and treatment of a patient, with torsion and ruptured horn pregnancy in a setting, with limited resources. It highlights the challenges faced and the strategies employed to ensure appropriate care. A 38-year-old woman, gravida 2, para 1, presented to the Obstetric and Gynaecology (OBGYN Department of Hiwot Fana University Hospital with a diagnosis of uterine rupture after she presented with a complaint of pushing down pain of 1 h, decreased fetal movement of 1-day duration, and with sudden and severe lower abdominal pain and distension. Conservative management was chosen, but deteriorating symptoms necessitated an emergency laparotomy, confirming a ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy and surgically excising the horn. Ruptured rudimentary horn pregnancy with torsion is an extremely uncommon and perilous obstetric emergency that necessitates swift diagnosis and surgical intervention. For advanced primitive horn pregnancy, laparotomy combined with horn removal continues to be the gold standard of therapy. Healthcare providers can improve patient outcomes and alleviate the burden of life-threatening conditions by promoting multidisciplinary collaboration and embracing innovative, technologically advanced techniques.
