Cough-induced rectus sheath hematoma during pregnancy-a rare presentation of abdominal pain.
Article in BMC pregnancy and childbirth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundRectus sheath hematoma (RSH), characterized by bleeding into the rectus sheath, is an uncommon condition of non-obstetric abdominal pain during pregnancy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 36-year-old woman presented with right-sided abdominal pain at her 32 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonography and abdominal computed tomography demonstrated a heterogeneous mass consistent with a rectus sheath hematoma. Conservative management was undertaken with analgesia, blood transfusion, serial hemoglobin monitoring, and ultrasonographic follow-up. Subsequent ultrasounds revealed gradual resolution of the hematoma, and blood test showed a stable hemoglobin level. At 37 weeks of gestation, the patient delivered a healthy baby.
conclusionsAlthough uncommon during pregnancy, clinical suspicion of RSH in women presenting with acute abdominal pain should be considered. Early diagnosis and timely management are important to ensure maternal and fetal safety and to avoid unnecessary premature cesarean delivery.
