Ruptured splenic ectopic pregnancy: A rare and life-threatening case report.

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.
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
Splenic ectopic pregnancy (SEP) is a rare and potentially life-threatening form of extrauterine gestation. Timely diagnosis is critical due to the risk of spontaneous rupture and hemoperitoneum. A 30-year-old woman presented with acute abdominal pain and secondary amenorrhea. Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated serum and urine β-hCG. Transabdominal ultrasound revealed significant hemoperitoneum without evidence of intrauterine or adnexal pregnancy. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a heterogeneous mass within the spleen and free intraperitoneal fluid, raising suspicion for SEP. The patient underwent emergency laparotomy and splenectomy. Histopathological examination confirmed chorionic villi within the splenic tissue. Although exceedingly rare, SEP should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen in women of reproductive age with positive β-hCG and no intrauterine gestation on imaging. Early recognition and prompt surgical intervention are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality.
