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

Ectopic pregnancy represents a significant challenge in obstetrics due to its potential for severe complications, including maternal morbidity and mortality. Caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is one of the very rare sites of ectopic pregnancy. Any type of surgical scar on the uterine wall (hysterotomy) including caesarean section, myomectomy or history of abnormally adherent placenta or manual removal of placenta increases the risk of surgical scar ectopic pregnancy. Here, we have described a case of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy in a 43 years female presenting to the emergency department after being referred from a primary centre with complaints of pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding. Ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of caesarean section scar ectopic pregnancy. The patient was successfully managed with multi dose regime of methotrexate. Early diagnosis and prompt management of caesarean scar ectopic pregnancy is essential to avoid any life-threatening complications or loss of fertility.
