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

A bilateral ectopic pregnancy is a rare condition, and even more so with spontaneous conception. The known risk factors and clinical presentation are shared by both unilateral and bilateral ectopic pregnancy. This poses a risk for misdiagnosis, treatment failure, and, ultimately, maternal mortality. The current standard for diagnostics is not discernible for a bilateral ectopic pregnancy, thus, medical management tends to be sub-therapeutic. In fact, it is fairly common for the correct diagnosis and efficient treatment to be achieved by surgical intervention. As there are no established diagnostic or treatment guidelines for this rare condition, the possibility of a bilateral ectopic pregnancy should not be ruled out lightly.
