Spontaneous Hemoperitoneum From a Ruptured Vessel Overlying a Sub-Serosal Myoma: A Rare and Life-Threatening Emergency in Women.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Spontaneous hemoperitoneum is a rare yet potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the accumulation of blood in the peritoneal cavity without a traumatic cause. It is rare for a uterine leiomyoma to present with a massive hemoperitoneum; only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 41-year-old Ghanaian female with a history of bilateral tubal ligation who presented to the emergency department with syncope and severe abdominal pain. Initial evaluation revealed hypotension, tachycardia, and significant free intraperitoneal fluid on ultrasound. An exploratory laparotomy identified a massive hemoperitoneum secondary to a ruptured vessel overlying a uterine fibroid, necessitating subtotal hysterectomy and bilateral salpingectomy. This case highlights the importance of considering spontaneous hemoperitoneum in women with uterine fibroids who present with acute abdomen and hemodynamic instability.
