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

Pyometra perforation is a rare and severe gynecological acute abdomen. If diagnosis and treatment are not timely, it can lead to septic shock and even endanger the patient's life. Here, we present a 68-year-old postmenopausal woman who presented with symptoms of upper abdominal pain accompanied by nausea. CT indicated a large amount of free gas in the abdominal cavity and fluid in the abdominal and pelvic cavities. Laparotomy was performed considering gastrointestinal (GI) perforation. During the operation, it was diagnosed as perforation of pyometra. After the operation, the patient was transferred to the intensive care unit and died of septic shock 13 hours after the operation. For postmenopausal women with abdominal pain, pyometra perforation should be taken into consideration. Correct identification and timely treatment are particularly crucial for the patient's prognosis.
