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

rationaleUterine perforation complicated by incarcerated fallopian tube and cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) constitutes an exceptionally rare and clinically challenging condition. The diagnostic dilemma arises from elevated β-hCG levels combined with parauterine mass formation, which frequently mimics tubal ectopic pregnancy presentation. This case report aims to highlight the critical importance of differential diagnosis in preventing clinical mismanagement of this complex obstetric emergency. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 35-year-old woman (gravida 3, para 2) with recent Dilation and Curettage (D&C) presented with abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding, and elevated β-hCG, initially misdiagnosed as tubal ectopic pregnancy. DIAGNOSES: Initial transvaginal ultrasound detected a right adnexal mass with intrauterine fluid. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated communication between the mass and uterine myometrium. Repeat transvaginal ultrasound confirmed CSP, surgically validated.

interventionsCombined laparoscopic-hysteroscopic surgery performed uterine perforation repair, CSP resection, and right fallopian tube repositioning. OUTCOMES: The patient was discharged on postoperative day 7 without complications. LESSONS: Heuristic-driven cognitive bias significantly contributes to diagnostic error. For multiparous women following abortion, heightened vigilance is essential to guard against the occurrence of this rare condition.
