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

Rudimentary horn pregnancy (RHP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening form of ectopic pregnancy that occurs in the context of a unicornuate uterus resulting from incomplete development of 1 Müllerian duct. We present the case of a 31-year-old nulligravida woman diagnosed at 8 weeks and 2 days of amenorrhea with an RHP, initially suspected via pelvic ultrasound and confirmed by laparoscopy. The patient underwent surgical resection of the rudimentary horn containing the pregnancy, with an uneventful postoperative course. RHP often presents with nonspecific symptoms, making early diagnosis difficult, and carries a high risk of uterine rupture and placenta accreta if left untreated. This case highlights the critical role of early ultrasonographic evaluation and emphasizes the importance of prompt surgical intervention to prevent severe maternal morbidity.
