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

Vasa previa describes vessels that are unprotected by Wharton's jelly and traverse over or near the endocervix. Rupture of membranes or labor increases the risk of vessel rupture, followed by rapid fetal exsanguination. Learners are often taught to manage this condition by case scenarios and simulations. We present a case of type I vasa previa where intraoperative photographs demonstrate the potentially catastrophic rupture of membranes into the unprotected fetal vessels during a scheduled cesarean delivery. We recommend using intraoperative photographs to educate learners and counsel patients on the potential acuity inherent to this condition.
