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

Interstitial pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy in which the gestational sac implants in a unique location within the uterus. Rupture of an interstitial pregnancy can lead to severe, potentially life-threatening uterine hemorrhage. Common treatment options include laparoscopic surgery to incise the myometrium and remove the embryo, laparoscopic wedge resection of the lesion, or medical therapy. However, these surgical interventions can compromise the integrity of the uterine muscle layer and may lead to fallopian tube obstruction. This report concerns the case of a 29-year-old patient who underwent frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer and presented at 6 weeks of gestation. A 3D ultrasound suggested a possible interstitial tubal pregnancy. Hysteroscopy was performed, during which no gestational sac was identified within the uterine cavity. Under ultrasound guidance, microforceps were introduced via hysteroscopy into the interstitial portion of the right fallopian tube, and fresh chorionic villi were successfully retrieved. Follow-up 3D ultrasound showed no abnormalities. In this case, the interstitial tubal pregnancy was removed via hysteroscopy using non-electrosurgical instrumentation, effectively preserving the integrity of the myometrium and avoiding thermal damage to the endometrium. This approach enabled rapid recovery and reduced the risk of uterine rupture in future pregnancies.
