Clinical Management and Outcomes of Ectopic Pregnancies: Experience From Sohar Hospital Over Three Years.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background Ectopic pregnancy is a potentially life-threatening condition requiring timely diagnosis and appropriate management. This study aims to evaluate the clinical presentation, management strategies, and treatment outcomes of women with ectopic pregnancy at a tertiary care hospital in Oman over a three-year period. Materials and methods We retrospectively reviewed 404 ectopic pregnancy cases from 2020 to 2022. Patients received methotrexate or surgical treatment. Patients were evaluated for success rate, complications, hospital stay, and need for further intervention using t-tests, chi-square, and multivariate models. Results No significant differences were found between groups regarding age, gravidity, parity, prior ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, or pelvic surgery. Clinical presentations were similar, though hemodynamic instability was more frequent in the surgical group (15.3% vs. 6.4%, p = 0.01), independently predicting surgical intervention (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.22-5.75). Surgical management yielded a higher success rate (97.6% vs. 85.9%, p < 0.001; AOR = 4.85, 95% CI: 2.01-11.7). Laparoscopy was the predominant surgical method (79.8%), while 28.8% of medically treated patients received multidose methotrexate. Complication rates were comparable (7.7% vs. 7.3%, p = 0.88), but hospital stay was longer in the surgical group (4.8 vs. 2.4 days, p < 0.001). Additional interventions were more common in the medical group (5.1% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.016; AOR = 6.78, 95% CI: 1.35-33.9). Tubal ectopic pregnancies predominated (81.2%), with treatment modality significantly associated with ectopic site (p = 0.0239). Management type was significantly linked to treatment outcome (χ² = 14.5, p < 0.001). Conclusion Surgical management demonstrates higher efficacy and reduced need for retreatment, particularly in hemodynamically unstable or non-tubal ectopic pregnancies. Treatment decisions should be guided by clinical stability and anatomical site to optimize outcomes.
