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

The article reports a case of fetal imperforate hymen diagnosed by prenatal MRI and confirmed by postnatal surgery. The pregnant woman underwent routine 37-week ultrasound examination, which revealed an enlarged fetal bladder and an abdominal cystic mass. Subsequent 37-week + 6 prenatal MRI showed fetal uterine and vaginal fluid accumulation, suggesting congenital vaginal atresia. At 39 weeks + 5, under ultrasound guidance, amniotic, fetal abdominal, and vaginal cyst fluid were aspirated through a maternal abdominal puncture, avoiding the bowel. The cysts were significantly reduced in size, and the patient delivered vaginally at 39 weeks + 6. On postpartum day 1, pelvic MRI of the neonate showed normal uterine and cervical anatomy, with a lengthened, thickened vaginal wall and no fluid collection. On postpartum day 2, the patient underwent surgical exploration, which confirmed the diagnosis of imperforate hymen. Partial hymenectomy was performed without complication.
