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

Cervical pregnancy is an uncommon form of ectopic pregnancy, and when combined with a coexisting intrauterine gestation, it represents a particularly rare and challenging clinical scenario. We report the case of a 46-year-old woman with a history of multiple IVF attempts who conceived after the transfer of two blastocysts. At eight weeks, ultrasound revealed a heterotopic triplet pregnancy: a monochorionic twin cervical ectopic pregnancy alongside a singleton intrauterine gestation. Cardiac activity was present in all fetuses. After counseling, selective evacuation of the cervical pregnancy was performed via dilatation and curettage, followed by prophylactic cervical cerclage to prevent iatrogenic insufficiency. The intrauterine pregnancy progressed uneventfully until 32 weeks, when placental insufficiency developed. Delivery by cesarean section at 34 weeks resulted in a healthy male neonate weighing 2100 g, discharged after a brief NICU stay. This report highlights an exceptionally rare case of heterotopic cervical twin pregnancy coexisting with a viable intrauterine pregnancy. It emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis, individualized management, and multidisciplinary care to optimize both maternal safety and fetal outcome.
