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

backgroundUnicornuate uterus with rudimentary horn is a rare Müllerian anomaly associated with high-risk ectopic pregnancies. This report highlights the diagnostic challenges and management strategies for rudimentary horn pregnancy, emphasizing the role of advanced imaging in prerupture detection. CASE PRESENTATION: A 24-year-old nulliparous Asian woman presented with 48-day amenorrhea and a pelvic mass. Transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound revealed a left unicornuate uterus and a right noncommunicating rudimentary horn containing a gestational sac. Emergency laparoscopic resection of the rudimentary horn and ipsilateral salpingectomy were performed, with histopathology confirming placental implantation.

conclusionsRudimentary horn pregnancy necessitates a high index of suspicion in women with uterine anomalies. Prophylactic resection of the rudimentary horn and ipsilateral fallopian tube is recommended upon diagnosis to prevent catastrophic outcomes. Multimodal imaging combining three-dimensional ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging improves preoperative detection accuracy.
