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

Uterine rupture is defined as the complete division of all three layers of the uterus: the endometrium, myometrium, and perimetrium. Uterine rupture due to trauma often results from high-impact blunt abdominal trauma such as motor vehicle accidents, falls and domestic violence, and it is most common in the third trimester. Prompt diagnosis is necessary to treat this emergency, given its quick onset and progression, to prevent potentially life-threatening complications to the mother and fetus, notably fetal death, which commonly occurs in such cases. Here, we present a case of a 33-year-old female, Gravida 3 Para 2+0, with two previous uterine scars who sustained a traumatic uterine rupture at gestation of 18 weeks due to blunt abdominal trauma after a bathroom fall. The uterine rupture was surgically repaired, allowing continuation of pregnancy and delivery of a live baby 20 weeks later. We demonstrate a timely multidisciplinary approach to managing a pregnant trauma patient by surgical and obstetric teams to optimize outcomes for both the fetus and the mother.
