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

introductionIn this report, we present a unique case of a stillbirth accompanied by significant unexplained retroperitoneal hematoma (RPH). PATIENT INFORMATION: A 36-year-old patient at 31 6/7 weeks of gestation was confirmed stillbirth accompanied by clinical signs of significant blood loss. DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT AND PROGNOSIS: After laparotomy and CTA examination, we clearly diagnosed the retroperitoneal hematoma. Arterial angiography revealed bleeding in the left inferior phrenic artery and an embolization was performed, successfully controlled the bleeding. DISCUSSION: This case gives clinician a clue for searching for the causes in pregnant women presenting with unexplained bleeding and provides some tips for searching for the bleeding vessels of retroperitoneal hematoma. It also suggests that the huge retroperitoneal hematoma might be a cause of stillbirth.
