Do Left and Right Tell Different Stories? A Clinico-diagnostic Analysis of Laterality in Ectopic Pregnancy Outcomes.

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
Objectives: Prompt diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy help prevent major morbidity and mortality in the first trimester. While studies frequently describe the general locations of ectopic pregnancies, there is less emphasis specifically on left- versus right-sided dominance. Understanding the lateralization patterns could enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies, thereby reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. We investigated the lateralisation patterns of ectopic pregnancies and to investigate any significant patterns associated with the ectopic side. Materials and Methods: This was a hospital-based, retrospective analytical cohort study conducted at the tertiary care hospital of North India from January 2021 to July 2024. The primary objective of the study was to determine the laterality of ectopic pregnancies. Results: Among the 202 cases, 130 (64.4%) ectopic pregnancies were located in the right fallopian tube, whereas 72 (35.6%) cases were in the left fallopian tube ( Conclusion: Our findings suggest a notable predominance of occurrences on the right side. This can aid clinicians in earlier diagnosis, better diagnostic vigilance and decision-making, including surgical planning, and an overall efficient utilization of healthcare resources.
