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

Heterotopic pregnancy is a rare condition characterized by the simultaneous presence of both an intrauterine and an ectopic pregnancy. Most cases are identified during the first trimester. This report describes the case of a woman in labor who presented with right lower quadrant abdominal tenderness. During a cesarean section performed for an obstetric indication, a tubal ectopic pregnancy with active ostial bleeding and 600 ml of hemoperitoneum was discovered. A salpingectomy was performed, and histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of tubal ectopic pregnancy. The patient was discharged on the third day of admission with stable vital signs. This is seemingly the first ever reported case of a tubal heterotopic ectopic pregnancy presenting intrapartum.
