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

The Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital disorder with uterus didelphys, unilateral obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis, more common on right side. HWW syndrome usually presents at puberty with symptoms like pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea and palpable mass due to the associated hematocolpos or hematometra. Delayed presentation in adulthood as infertility can occur in case of incomplete vaginal septum. Short term complications like pyohematocolpos, pyosalpinx, or pelviperitonitis, and long-term complications, such as endometriosis, increased risk of abortion and infertility can occur. Ultrasound is the initial investigation which demonstrates uterine anomaly, renal agenesis and hematocolpos.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the imaging modality of choice which helps in confirmation of diagnosis, delineation of vaginal septum, communication between 2 cavities and associated pathologies like adenomyosis better.Vaginal septum resection is the treatment of choice for obstructed hemivagina with hematocolpos. We present you a case of 43 years female with cyclical dysmenorrhea starting few years after menarche with uterine didelphys, left sided vaginal septum with hematocolpos and left renal agenesis. Along with this, diffuse bilateral adenomyosis was present which is uncommonly associated with this anomaly as obstruction is at the level of vagina. Patient was diagnosed late due to misdiagnosis and later treated with septal resection for hematocolpos and with hormonal medications for adenomyosis.
