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

Introduction: Interstitial ectopic pregnancy is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that occurs when a fertilized ovum implants in the interstitial (intramural) portion of the fallopian tube within the myometrium. It accounts for 2%-4% of all ectopic pregnancies and poses significant risks due to the potential for rupture and severe hemorrhage. Case Presentation: We report the case of a 34-year-old woman, gravida 5 para 3 + 1, living 4, who presented with right iliac fossa pain at 5 weeks of gestation. Ultrasonography and elevated Conclusion: This case highlights the successful treatment of interstitial ectopic pregnancy with local methotrexate injection, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and timely intervention. Future studies with larger sample sizes and standardized treatment criteria are recommended.
