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

backgroundObstructed hemi-vagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome is a rare congenital condition, which is described in a combination of uterus didelphys and obstructed hemi-vagina with ipsilateral renal agenesis. Until now, the diagnosis of this anomaly is challenging as there are diverse symptoms depending on pre-puberty and post-puberty age onset. Early diagnosis of this syndrome allows for improvement of quality of life and prevents fertility-related complications. CASE REPORT: We present the case of a 13-year-old Vietnamese girl who was admitted to the emergency department with colicky lower abdominal pain and a tender cystic mass in the left vaginal wall. Her menarche started 6 months ago, and she had an experience of progressive menstruation-related pain. The ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging identified presence of uterus didelphys, an absence of left kidney associated with a menstrual-blood-retained mass from the uterus cavity to the left side of vagina (hematocolpos). The patient underwent a vaginal excision to drain blood-containing mass and was discharged from hospital 5 days after the operation. The patient and her parents have been provided with a detailed follow-up plan to prevent the complications of renal failure and infertility.

conclusionThe possibility of obstructed hemi-vagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome should be considered in both pre-puberty and post-puberty girls who present with acute lower abdominal pain. Ultrasound plays a crucial role in making an early diagnosis of this condition, while magnetic resonance imaging allows for classification and prediction of fertility capacity. Vaginal excision is a minimally invasive procedure to relieve the pain and prevent the adverse effects.
