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

Due to advancements in medical care and reconstructive surgery, more patients with bladder exstrophy are reaching reproductive age and considering pregnancy. Complications are more common during pregnancy in this patient population, given medical comorbidities and prior surgical intervention. In the case of cesarean delivery, careful planning is necessary to prevent inadvertent injury to the bladder or bowel segments. This report concerns a patient with a history of infant closure of bladder exstrophy, followed by two bladder augmentations and a catheterizable channel who presented for care at 9 weeks of gestation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 36 weeks of gestation was used to delineate the anatomy in planning for cesarean delivery. The patient underwent a successful cesarean delivery at 38 weeks 1 day of gestation. Patients with prior urologic reconstruction can undergo safe cesarean delivery if proper surgical planning is performed. Multidisciplinary care and prenatal MRI are valuable tools for avoiding surgical complications.
