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 rare case of massive left abdominopelvic hematoma (~16.6 × 13.9 × 14.5 cm) from a 1.3 cm pseudoaneurysm on an aberrant uterine artery from the anterior abdominal aorta, arising between the superior mesenteric artery and inferior mesenteric artery, supplying the lateral uterus in a woman in the postpartum period. The hematoma manifested on postpartum day two with signs of hypovolemia and a painful, throbbing lump in the left lower abdomen. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed a large retroperitoneal hematoma and a pseudoaneurysm associated with the anomalous artery, which also showed an aorta of normal caliber and no abdominal aortic aneurysm. Successful hemostasis was achieved using selective endovascular coil embolization with adjunct Gelfoam (Pfizer Inc., New York, United States). This case emphasizes vigilance for vascular anomalies in postpartum hemorrhage and demonstrates how advanced imaging and rapid endovascular intervention can prevent maternal morbidity and mortality.
