Management of atypical complicated abdominal masses in the second trimester of pregnancy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2026. 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
A nulliparous woman in her 40s presented with abdominal pain and dyspnoea during the second trimester of pregnancy. Ultrasonography revealed two large abdominal masses: the upper lesion occupied the entire left subphrenic space extending to the uterine fundus, whereas the lower lesion filled the pouch of Douglas. The patient underwent laparotomy, with the caudal mass left in situ within the pelvis. She subsequently had a regular obstetric follow-up and an elective caesarean delivery, resulting in an excellent maternal and neonatal outcome.In cases of large symptomatic masses during pregnancy, comprehensive evaluation using bimanual examination and safe imaging modalities, such as ultrasound and non-contrast MRI, is essential. Surgical management should be considered only in the presence of oncological suspicion or clinical complications, always aiming to preserve pregnancy and avoid overtreatment. The mode of delivery should depend on the size, number and anatomical location of uterine masses.
