Atypical Presentation of Uterine Rupture in a Post-myomectomy Scar at 35+5 Weeks Gestation: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
Uterine rupture in the third trimester is a rare but life-threatening obstetric emergency, particularly in women with a history of uterine surgery such as myomectomy. This report describes an atypical presentation in a 43-year-old primigravida with a prior fundal myomectomy. At 35+5 weeks of gestation, she presented to the emergency department with nonspecific abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, and persistent vomiting for over 8 hours. Notably, she had missed her 32-week antenatal visit and did not respond to calls made 2 days prior regarding elective cesarean scheduling, later citing fear of the hospital environment. Her antenatal care had otherwise been regular. The pregnancy was planned, and she conceived four months after a fundal myomectomy performed on 29 May 2024. She had been counseled regarding the associated risks but was keen to conceive early due to her age. Consequently, her pregnancy was classified as high risk owing to a fresh uterine scar. On initial evaluation, the patient was hypotensive (BP 90/60 mmHg) and tachycardic (HR 100 bpm), and she reported perceiving normal fetal movements at that time. Fetal monitoring was initiated, and one hour into observation, cardiotocography revealed fetal bradycardia, with heart rates fluctuating between 60 and 130 bpm. An emergency lower-segment cesarean section under general anesthesia was performed. Intraoperatively, a massive hemoperitoneum and extensive intraperitoneal clots were discovered along with a full-thickness rupture at the fundal uterine scar. A breech fetus was delivered, the uterus was repaired in two layers, and one unit of packed red blood cells was transfused. The patient was monitored in the high-dependency unit and recovered well. This case emphasizes the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion for uterine rupture, even in the absence of classic signs such as severe abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. Early fetal monitoring, timely diagnosis, and prompt surgical intervention are essential to improving maternal and fetal outcomes in women with prior uterine surgery.
