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

Spontaneous hemoperitoneum in the postpartum period is rare and potentially fatal, especially following an uncomplicated vaginal delivery. We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who developed hypovolemic shock and acute abdominal pain four days postpartum. Imaging revealed massive intra-abdominal bleeding. Emergency laparotomy identified a spontaneous rupture of the left broad ligament with 3 l of hemoperitoneum. Surgical repair and resuscitation were successful. This case underlines the importance of considering internal bleeding in postpartum patients with abdominal symptoms, even in the absence of obstetric complications.
