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.
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
Objective: To study the clinical profile and management outcomes of non-tubal ectopic pregnancy at a tertiary care hospital in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Methods: Case files of non-tubal ectopic pregnancy (NTEP) patients from October 2017 to October 2020 presented to Alqasmi Women and Children's Hospital, Sharjah, were included in the study. The data was extracted from available medical records. Results: A total of 30 confirmed cases of NTEP were identified with the following break-up: caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (n=14; 46.7%), cornual pregnancy (n=11; 36.7%), cervical pregnancy (n=3; 10%) and ovarian pregnancy n=2; 6.7%). Abdominal pain was the most common presenting symptom, present in 23 (76.7% patients) followed by vaginal bleeding in 17 (56.7%) patients. Ten women were managed medically, ten required surgical treatment, and eight were managed with combined medical and surgical treatments; Two patients were managed expectantly. Patients in each treatment strategy did well and there were no deaths. One patient in the medical treatment group developed complications after one month and underwent subtotal hysterectomy. Conclusion: Patients with NTEP were presented with varying symptoms and signs depending upon the location of NTEP. The different currently available management options for NTEP seem to be effective and safe when carefully selected based on the clinical merits of each case.
