Inadvertent Intrauterine Instillation of Trichloroacetic Acid During Sonohysterography.

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
Trichloroacetic acid (TCAA) solution is used to treat vulvar condyloma and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Saline infusion sonohysterography (SIS) detects intrauterine pathology and fallopian tube patency in infertile patients. A 33-year-old Caucasian nulliparous fertility patient presented to the emergency department with extensive burns following accidental intrauterine instillation of TCAA during SIS with tubal perfusion. On presentation, the patient was hemodynamically stable. There was extensive erythema and tenderness in a spill/burn pattern on both thighs as well as the groin, perineum, and labia. Speculum exam revealed white, leathery mucosa with the absence of normal vaginal rugae. The abdominal exam was notable for generalized tenderness without guarding or rebound. Complete blood count (CBC), serum electrolytes, and CT scan were unremarkable. The patient was admitted for observation and pain management. She received serial abdominal exams, topical aquaphor, vaginal estrogen, and serial labs and pelvic imaging. The patient remained stable and was discharged on hospital day two. At three months, the patient reported improvement in pain and gradual skin healing. She resumed fertility treatment at a different fertility center, and a frozen embryo transfer resulted in a live birth. This case demonstrates severe vaginal and perineal injury after intrauterine instillation of TCAA. At three months, vaginal and external genitalia required ongoing burn care. Notably, endometrial recovery is evidenced by the delivery of a live birth after embryo transfer. The case underscores a preventable medical accident and highlights the regenerative ability of endometrial stem cells to respond to hormonal cues and restore endometrial receptivity after chemical trauma.
