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

We report a case of a patient who developed abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after cesarean section, leading to cardiopulmonary arrest, but was saved without serious sequelae. The patient, 32 years old, gravida 1, para 0, developed hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) at 27 weeks' gestation, with fetal growth restriction and elevated liver enzymes, and underwent emergency cesarean section at 30 weeks' gestation. On postoperative day 1, persistent bleeding from the uterine cesarean section scar to the abdominal cavity was observed, and uterine artery embolization stopped the bleeding. On the second postoperative day, the patient experienced increased abdominal distention, leading to cardiopulmonary arrest shortly after computed tomography (CT) imaging. Based on the imaging findings, the patient was suspected to have ACS, and emergency abdominal decompression was performed. CT findings such as narrowing of the inferior vena cava, elevation of the diaphragm, and distention of the extra-abdominal venous system were useful in the diagnosis of ACS.
