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

Whether surgical treatment of tubal pregnancy affects the outcomes of concomitant live normally sited (eutopic) pregnancies is unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes of live eutopic singleton pregnancies following surgical treatment for concomitant fallopian pregnancies. A total of 446 patients who conceived tubal heterotopic pregnancies (HPs) via in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer and underwent surgical treatment to remove ectopic pregnancies (EPs) were included. For each study patient, one matched patient who conceived a live eutopic singleton pregnancy was selected randomly as a control. The rates of early miscarriage, late miscarriage, live birth, preterm birth, low birth weight and perinatal mortality were not significantly different between the study and control groups. The birth weight were also similar between these two groups. However, the caesarean section rate was significantly higher in the study group than that in the control group(P < 0.001). Additionally, laparotomy and laparoscopy for tubal HPs yielded similar pregnancy outcomes. Compared with controls, patients who conceived tubal pregnancies and concomitant live eutopic singleton pregnancies had similar pregnancy outcomes after proper surgical treatment of EPs. These findings can be used for counselling women who have conceived tubal HPs regarding the risks associated with surgical treatment.
