Hysteroscopy as an Alternative to Curettage in Persistent Pregnancy of Unknown Location.
Article in Gynecology and minimally invasive therapy. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study evaluates the effectiveness of hysteroscopy in managing persistent pregnancy of unknown location (PUL) as an alternative to traditional curettage. Six patients diagnosed with PUL underwent hysteroscopy, four of them by the vaginoscopic approach and without anesthesia, and two under general anesthesia. The objective of the procedure was to locate the pregnancy, treat it, or take a tissue sample in cases of PUL where imaging studies were nonconclusive. Results showed that in five patients, hysteroscopy successfully identified and removed a gestational mass, leading to complete resolution of beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (ß-hCG) levels within 24 days. One patient was diagnosed with extrauterine pregnancy due to the absence of intrauterine gestational mass in hysteroscopy and a plateauing level of ß-hCG a day after the procedure. The findings indicate that hysteroscopy may offer a safe and more precise alternative to traditional blind curettage.
