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

Retained products of conception (RPOC) occur when the placenta does not properly separate from the uterine wall. The prevalence of RPOC varies between countries and the result of pregnancy, between vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, and miscarriage or dilation and curettage (D&C). Overall, RPOC has a higher incidence in developed countries where practices tend toward earlier manual removal of the placenta instead of waiting for spontaneous delivery. Typically, retained products following delivery are symptomatic, causing hemorrhage or infection; however, RPOC related to pregnancy termination are most likely asymptomatic. This article describes a case in which a patient presented with 10 years of infertility following the termination of her first pregnancy with D&C. We aim to explore diagnostic modalities, treatment options, and possible complications of long-term RPOC.
