Uncomplicated full-term birth after laparoscopical salpingotomy as organ-preserving therapy of naturally conceived heterotopic pregnancy: A case report.

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
Heterotopic pregnancy, the simultaneous occurrence of intrauterine and extrauterine gestations, is a rare phenomenon, especially without a history of assisted reproduction. This case report describes a 33-year-old woman presenting with severe abdominal pain at 7 weeks of pregnancy. Transvaginal ultrasound revealed an intrauterine singleton pregnancy and an adnexal mass, highly suspicious of an ectopic pregnancy, along with significant intraperitoneal fluid. Emergency laparoscopy confirmed intra-abdominal hemorrhage and a near rupture of the left fallopian tube. A laparoscopic salpingotomy successfully resolved the ectopic pregnancy while preserving the intrauterine pregnancy. Postoperative course was uneventful. The patient later delivered a healthy infant at term. This case highlights the importance of considering heterotopic pregnancy in patients with confirmed intrauterine pregnancy, even in the absence of assisted reproductive technologies and other risk factors.
