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

Abdominal ectopic pregnancies are rare and carry high maternal morbidity and mortality rates. Patients may be asymptomatic, or they may have nonspecific abdominal pain. Due to their rarity and heterogeneity in presentation, management decisions are not straightforward. There are no universally agreed recommendations regarding the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and although surgical management is the most common choice, there is a paucity of evidence to support the role of medical alternatives or adjuncts. This report concerns the case of an asymptomatic patient with an abdominal pregnancy that was initially misdiagnosed as an intrauterine pregnancy. It highlights the utility of pelvic MRI in surgical planning and features a review of management options. Key images from the patient's ultrasound, MRI, and surgery are included.
