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

Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hauser (MRKH) syndrome is a reproductive tract malformation occurring in ~1 in 5000 female births. It is characterized by congenital agenesis or marked hypoplasia of the Mullerian ducts derivative structures. About 3% of MRKH patients have a functioning uterus. A 12-year-old otherwise healthy female presented with persistent cyclic severe right lower quadrant pain. She was found to have MRKH syndrome with a right-sided functioning uterus and hematometra and ipsilateral hematosalpinx. She subsequently underwent diagnostic cystoscopy, vaginoscopy, and pelvic laparoscopy. Laparoscopic drainage of the hematometra and hematosalpinx, and hysterostomy catheter placement and uterine fixation to anterior abdominal wall were performed. Symptoms fully resolved post-operatively. A computed tomography scan 2 weeks later demonstrated resolution of the hematometra and significant improvement in the hematosalpinx. MRKH syndrome with a functioning uterus may present as cyclic abdominal pain in adolescent female patients. Laparoscopic uterine drain placement is a management option.
