Spontaneous Uterine Perforation and the Diagnostic Value of Laparoscopy: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Spontaneous uterine perforation due to pyometra, the accumulation of fluid within the uterus, is an uncommon cause of acute abdomen. Malignancy should be ruled out in these cases, as pyometra is often associated with gynecological cancers. Symptoms of perforated pyometra are often vague and mistaken for gastrointestinal perforation. A 74-year-old postmenopausal woman presented with severe abdominal pain and nausea. Due to the nonspecific symptoms and pneumoperitoneum on CT imaging, preoperative assessment was consistent with perforated bowel; however, upon diagnostic laparoscopy and peritoneal lavage, perforated pyometra was found. A total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was subsequently performed. Though rare, perforated pyometra should be considered in postmenopausal females with symptoms of acute abdomen due to its high morbidity and mortality. Diagnostic laparoscopy is effective for diagnosing unclear etiologies of acute abdomen and has many benefits compared to exploratory laparotomy.
